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

Chemistry

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.

Consider the reaction of NO and CO to form N2 and CO2, according to the balanced equation: 2 NO (g) + 2 CO (g) → N2 (g) + 2 CO2
Gekata [30.6K]

The image is not given in the question, it is attached below:

<u>Answer:</u> The excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the given image:

Red spheres represent oxygen atoms, blue spheres represent nitrogen atoms and black spheres represent carbon atoms

The combination of 1 black and 2 red spheres will represent carbon dioxide (CO_2) compound

The combination of 2 blue spheres will represent nitrogen molecule (N_2)

The combination of 1 blue and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide (NO) compound

The combination of 1 black and 1 red sphere will represent nitrogen monoxide (NO) compound

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

We are given:

Given moles of NO = 6 moles

Given moles of CO = 4 moles

For the given chemical equation:

2NO(g)+2CO(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2CO_2(g)

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of CO reacts with 2 moles of NO

So, 4 moles of CO will react with = \frac{2}{2}\times 4=4mol of NO

As the given amount of NO is more than the required amount. Thus, it is present in excess and is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, CO is considered a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product.

Hence, the excess reactant is NO, the limiting reactant is CO and the products are shown in the image attached below.

If 25.5g of sodium thiosulphate was dissolved in 40g of distilled water at 25°C,
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Formula: Na2S2O3

we get solubility.

Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

Solution given:

mass of sodium thiosulphate [m1]=25.5g

mass of water [m2]=40g

at temperature [t]=25°C

we have

<u>solubility in g/dm^3</u> :\frac{solute in gram}{solvent in gram} *100

  • =\frac{25.5}{40}*100
  • =63.75g /litre=63.75g/dm³

<u>solubility in g/dm^3 :63.75g/dm³</u>

<u>n</u><u>o</u><u>w</u>

solubility of the solute in mol/dm^3=:63.75g/dm³/178=0.4 mol/dm³
