Answer:

The correct answer is 4 electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which element gains electrons and it get reduced. Also oxidation state of that element also deceases.

$O_2+e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

Charge on both sides should be balanced so for that write 4 as a coefficient of en electron in an above reaction.By this the charge on booth sides becomes (4-).

$O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}$

1 mole of oxygen gas gets reduced by 4 electrons into 2 moles of oxygen ions.

For the reaction o(g) + o2(g) → o3(g) δh o = −107.2 kj/mol given that the bond enthalpy in o2(g) is 498.7 kj/mol, calculate the

Aneli [31]

The reaction;
O(g) +O2(g)→O3(g), ΔH = sum of bond enthalpy of reactants-sum of food enthalpy of products.
ΔH = ( bond enthalpy of O(g)+bond enthalpy of O2 (g) - bond enthalpy of O3(g)
-107.2 kJ/mol = O+487.7kJ/mol =O+487.7 kJ/mol +487.7kJ/mol =594.9 kJ/mol
Bond enthalpy (BE) of O3(g) is equals to 2× bond enthalpy of O3(g) because, O3(g) has two types of bonds from its lewis structure (0-0=0).
∴2BE of O3(g) = 594.9kJ/mol
Average bond enthalpy = 594.9kJ/mol/2
=297.45kJ/mol
∴ Averange bond enthalpy of O3(g) is 297.45kJ/mol.

500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745.0 mm Hg. what what will the volume be at standard pressure

Irina-Kira [14]

This is an application of Boyle's law:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. we don't have to convert volume and pressure to standard forms. we can even use the pressure with mmHg
1 atm = 760 mmHg
V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂ = 745 x 500 / 760 = 490 ml
Note that here we assume constant temperature

mixture of N 2 And H2 Gases weighs 13.22 g and occupies a volume of 24.62 L at 300 K and 1.00 atm.Calculate the mass percent of

anygoal [31]

Answer: The mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = Pressure of the gaseous mixture = 1.00 atm

V = Volume of the gaseous mixture = 24.62 L

n = number of moles of the gaseous mixture = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of the gaseous mixture = 300 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.00atm\times 24.62L=n_{mix}\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 300K\\\\n_{mix}=\frac{1.00\times 24.62}{0.0821\times 300}=0.9996mol$

We are given:

Total mass of the mixture = 13.22 grams

Let the mass of nitrogen gas be 'x' grams and that of hydrogen gas be '(13.22 - x)' grams

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

For nitrogen gas:

Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28 g/mol

$\text{Moles of nitrogen gas}=\frac{x}{28}mol$

For hydrogen gas:

Molar mass of hydrogen gas = 2 g/mol

$\text{Moles of hydrogen gas}=\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}mol$

Equating the moles of the individual gases to the moles of mixture:

$0.9996=\frac{x}{28}+\frac{(13.22-x)}{2}\\\\x=12.084g$

To calculate the mass percentage of substance in mixture we use the equation:

$\text{Mass percent of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Mass of mixture}}\times 100$

Mass of the mixture = 13.22 g

For nitrogen gas:

Mass of nitrogen gas = x = 12.084 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of nitrogen gas}=\frac{12.084g}{13.22g}\times 100=91.41\%$

For hydrogen gas:

Mass of hydrogen gas = (13.22 - x) = (13.22 - 12.084) g = 1.136 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Mass percent of hydrogen gas}=\frac{1.136g}{13.22g}\times 100=8.59\%$

Hence, the mass percent of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas is 91.41 % and 8.59 % respectively.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Haven't evaporated all of the water

Explanation:

One of the main sources of error that occur in a formula of a hydrate lab is that all of the water is not evaporated. We can see at the end of the video that half of the CoCl2 is a light blue colors and the other half is a dark blue color. This indicates that all of the water still has not been evaporated off, resulting in the actual mass of the salt to be greater than the predicted value.
