Why does one Oxygen atom bond with two Hydrogen atoms to form water? Why don't they bond in a different ratio?

Chemistry

Vladimir79 [104]4 years ago

This is because oxygen (2.8.6) requires two electrons on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2.8.8). Hydrogen (1) on the other hand requires one electron on its valence shell to attain stable configuration (2). Therefore in a covalent bond, it requires two hydrogen and one oxygen to share electrons and achieve stable configuration.

Answer:

The rate of reaction changes by a factor 6.

Explanation:

Given the reaction is first order.

Let us assume the initial concentration of NO is A and the initial concentration of O_3 is B.

So, we can write the rate of the reaction as

R=k[A][B]

Where,

R is the rate of reaction. And k is the rate constant.

Also, the initial concentration of NO has been increased by 0.5, and the initial concentration of  O_3 was increased by factor 4.

So, we have

R'=k[1.5A][4B]\\R'=6k[A][B]\\R'=6R

We can see the rate of reaction changes by a factor 6.

when metals react they ________________ (gain/lose) electrons. as you go down any group containing metals, it becomes easier to
balandron [24]

Answer:

When metals react they lose electrons.

Explanation:

An ion is defined as a molecule or atom made up of a different number of electrons and protons. This makes the electric charge of the molecule net, not neutral.

In other words, an ion is a molecule or atom that has a positive or negative electric charge, making it an atom whose electric charge is not neutral.

The characteristic property of a metallic atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. That is, metals lose electrons and acquire a net positive charge, which is why they are electropositive.

If you digested 25 mg of pure ferrocene in nitric acid and then diluted the resulting solution up to 500 mL with 1% aqueous hydr
Vilka [71]

Answer:

1.345*10⁻⁴ mol/L

15.023 mg/L

Explanation:

The chemical <u>formula of ferrocene</u> is Fe(C₅H₅)₂, thus its molecular weight is:

55.845 g/mol + 10*12g/mol + 10 *1g/mol = 185.845 g/mol

  • The moles of Fe contained in 25 mg (or 0.025 g) of ferrocene are:

0.025gFerrocene*\frac{1molFerrocene}{185.845g} *\frac{1mol Fe}{1molFerrocene}=1.345*10^{-4} molFe

  • The final volume is 500 mL, or 0.5 L. So the iron concentration in mol/L is:

\frac{1.345*10^{-4}molFe}{0.5L}= 2.69*10^{-4} mol/L

  • We can convert that value into mg/L:

2.69*10^{-4} \frac{molFe}{L} *\frac{55.845g}{1molFe}*\frac{1000mg}{1g}=15.023 mg/L
