An atom of oxygen has atomic of 8 and a mass number of 18. How many of each type of subatomic particle doe it contain?

1 answer:

7 0

An atom of Oxygen. Contains:

Protons = 8
Electrons = 8

Neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 18 - 8 = 10

Neutrons = 10.

Be sure to answer all parts. Nitric oxide (NO) reacts with oxygen gas to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a dark brown gas: 2NO(g) +

notka56 [123]

Answer: NO is the limiting reagent in the given reaction and 0.857 moles of $NO_2$ will be produced.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in less amount and it limits the formation of products.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is present in large amount.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$

We are given:

Moles of NO = 0.857 mol

Moles of oxygen = 0.498 mol

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NO reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas.

So, 0.857 moles of NO will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.857=0.4285mol$ of $O_2$

As, the given amount of oxygen gas is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, NO is considered as the limiting reagent because it limits the formation of products.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of NO produces 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide gas.

So, 0.857 moles of NO will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 0.857=0.857mol$ of $NO_2$

Hence, NO is the limiting reagent in the given reaction and 0.857 moles of $NO_2$ will be produced.

Using the principles of VSEPR theory, you can predict the geometry around any atom in any molecule, no matter how complex. Enant

Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule, with two sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons like that in water. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

The C atom is sp hybridised into two identical bonds and two identical bonds in acetylene.

The steric integer is therefore 2 because only sigma bonds are engaged in deciding hybridization, and its structure is linear.

The C atom is sp2 hybridised in ethene with single pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.

Thus the steric integer is 3, and its structure is planar trigonal.

The C atom is sp2 hybridized in ethene, with one pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.

The steric integer would therefore be 3 and its structure is planar trigonal.

The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule with two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

The C atom is sp3 in a methane ring, with 4 bond pairs and no solitary pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

What happens to the number of neutrons as you move across the table? left to right

luda_lava [24]

Answer: The number of neutrons will increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Mass number is the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons.

As we move from left to right, both the atomic number and mass number increases.

For example: As we move from Lithium to berrylium to boron to carbon to nitrogen to oxygen to fluorine to neon , the number of neutrons increase from 4 to 5 to 6 to 6 to 7 to 8 to 10 to 10.

Thus the number of neutrons will also increase as we move from left to right in a periodic table.
