Answers are:

2. It pushes on all objects that are on Earth’s surface.

3. It can be measured in atmospheres or kilopascals.

Barometric pressure (atmospheric pressure), is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth

Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing height, because there are fewer air molecules above a given object.

Barometer is an instrument used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.

Atmospheric pressure (atm) is the force per unit area by the weight of air above that point.

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric system pressure unit and equals to 1000 force of newton per square meter.

Atmospheric pressure results from molecular collisions of atmospheric gases.

) Given the following balanced equation, determine the rate of reaction with respect to [O2]. If the rate of formation of O2is 7

Travka [436]

Answer:

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

Explanation:

The rate of the reaction is defined as change in any one of the concentration of reactant or product per unit time.

$2O_3\rightleftharpoons 3O_2$

Rate of formation of oxygen : $7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s$

Rate of the reaction(R) = $\frac{-1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

$R=\frac{1}{3}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}$

Rate of formation of oxygen=3 × (R)

$7.78\times 10^{-1} M/s=3\times R$

Rate of the reaction(R): $0.2593 M/s$

Rate of the reaction is 0.2593 M/s

Rate of disappearance of the ozone:

$R=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}$

$\frac{d[O_3]}{dt}=-2\times R=-2\times 0.2593\times M/s=-0.5186M/s$

-0.5186 M/s is the rate of the loss of ozone.

For which of the following reactions is S° > 0. Choose all that apply. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) 4CO2(g) + 6H2

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

$NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

$2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1. $N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2. $2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3. $NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)$

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4. $2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5. $2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.

What is the total number of outer (valence) electrons in carbon dioxide, co2? answer?

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Carbon dioxide has a total of 16 valence electrons.

1. To determine the number of valence electrons of carbon dioxide (CO2), first determine the number of valence electrons of each of the elements in the molecule.

a. We have 1 carbon (C) molecule, and 2 oxygen (O) molecules.

b. The carbon molecule has 4 valence electrons and each oxygen molecule has 6 oxygen molecules.

2. Add up the valence electrons of each of the elements

4 + (2 x 6) = 16
(from C) (2 oxygen molecules, with 6 valence electrons each)

Thus, CO2 has a total of 16 valence electrons.

The number of valence electrons can be more clearly seen from the Lewis structure of the CO2 in the figure below (Source: http://chemistry.tutorvista.com/inorganic-chemistry/bonding-electrons.html). The the dots surrounding the letters represent the valence electrons.
