Why does one oxygen atom bond with two hydrogen atoms to make a water molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Artemon [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

because oxygen needs two electrons to complete it's octet and an atom of hydrogen has one valence electron

so two hydrogens to one oxygen

H20

At 500.K and 1.00 atm pressure, 1.5 liters of pentane gas, C5H12, is mixed with 15 liters of oxygen gas. A complete combustion r
____ [38]

Answer:

1.5 litre of C5H12 produce 9 litre of water vapour;

Explanation:

First balance the combustion reaction;

C_5H_12 +8O_2 → 5CO_2 +6H_2O

from the balance reacion it is clearly that,

one mole of C5H12 reacts completely with 8 mole of O2 gas;

Hence

one litre of C5H12 reacts completely with 8 litre of O2 gas;

there fore 1.5 litre C5H12 needs 12 litre oxygen gas but we have 15 litre.

so,

C5H12 is a limiing reactant and O2 is a excess reactant.

so quantity of H2O depends on limiting reactant;

one litre of C5H12 produce 6 litre of water vapour;

therefore,

1.5 litre of C5H12 produce 9 litre of water vapour;

A reaction has a ΔHrxn=54.2 kJ. Calculate the change in entropy for the surroundings (ΔSsurr) for the reaction at 25.0 °C. (Assu
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

b. - 184 J/K

Explanation:

  • ΔSsurr = - ΔH/T....at constant P and T.

∴ ΔHrxn = 54.2 KJ = 54200 J

∴ T = 25°C ≅ 298.15 K

⇒ ΔSsurr = - (54200 J)/(298 K)

⇒ ΔSsurr = - 182 J/K ≅ - 184 J/K

What is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium?
Nadusha1986 [10]

The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.

Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming GeH_4 molecule which is stable in nature.

Hence, GeH_4 is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
