Which needs two less valence electrons to complete an octet, X+2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vladimir79 [104]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ca

Explanation:

Ne  has its octet completed so, this option is wrong. Neon is stable.

C  Carbon has 4 valence electrons not 2, it should lose 4 electrons to complete an octet, so this option is wrong.

N  Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons not 2 , so it should gain 3 electrons to complete an octet.

Ca Calcium is the right answer it has to electrons in its outermost shell, it have to lose 2 electrons to complete an octet.

Calculate the concentration in mol L^-1 of ammonium ions in a solution prepared by mixing 360 mL of 0.250 mol L^-1 ammonium sulf
Mnenie [13.5K]

In order to determine the concentration of ammonium ions in the solution prepared by mixing solutions of ammonium sulfate, (NH4)2SO4, and ammonium nitrate, first calculate the amount of ammonium ions for each solution.<span>

<span>For ammonium sulfate sol'n: 0.360 L x 0.250 mol(NH4)2SO4/ L x 2 mol NH4+ /1 mol(NH4)2SO4 = 0.18 mol NH4+
<span>For ammonium nitrate sol'n: 0.675 x 1.2 mol NH4NO3/L x 1 mol NH4+ /1 molNH4NO3 = 0.81 mol NH4+

Thus, the amount of NH4+ ions is (0.18 + 0.81) mol or 0.99 mol NH4+. To get the concentration, multiply this to the volume of solution which is assumed to be additive, such that:</span></span></span>

M NH4+ in sol’n = 0.99 mol NH4+/1.035 L = 0.9565 mol NH4+/ L sol’n

Describe how you might determine the m/z and relative abundance of the ions contributing to the peak at 21.876 min
aliya0001 [1]

The m/z and relative abundance of the ions contributed to the peak at 21.876 min. The relative abundance will be 21.876%.

<h3>What is relative abundance?</h3>
  • The proportion of atoms with a particular atomic mass present in an element sample taken from a naturally occurring sample is known as the relative abundance of an isotope.
  • When the relative abundances of an element's isotopes are multiplied by their atomic masses and the results are added up, the result is the element's average atomic mass, which is a weighted average.
  • Chemists often divide the number of atoms in a particular isotope by the sum of the atoms in all the isotopes of that element, then multiply the result by 100 to determine the percent abundance of each isotope in a sample of that element.

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

What is the molarity of 2.00 L of a solution that contains 14.6 g NaCl?
White raven [17]

Answer: The molarity of the solution is 0.125 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

V_s = volume of solution in L

moles of NaCl = \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{14.6g}{58.5g/mol}=0.250mol

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.250mol}{2.00L}=0.125M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 0.125 M
