Answer: 2.

Explanation:

1) The number of bonds that an atom is willing to form may be predicted in terms of the octet rule.

2) Atomic number of oxygen is 8, which implies that the atom has 8 electrons.

3) The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

4) So, oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell.

5) The octet rule states that any atom will try to reach the configuration of the closest noble gas by "gaiing" or "giving" the electrons to have the 8 electrons in the outer shell.

6) Then oxygen will be willing to share two electrons with other atoms to complete, along with its own 6 electrons, the 8 electrons, which leads to the configuration of the noble gas Ne.

7) Each electron shared contributes to the formation of a bond. That is why by sharing two electrons, oxygen will form two covalent bonds.

What is the volume of a weather balloon that has 39 grams of helium with a density 0.017 g/mL?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 235.29 mL</h3>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

$volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\$

From the question.

density = 0.017 g/mL

mass = 4 g

We have

$volume = \frac{4}{0.017} \\ = 235.2941176...$

We have the final answer as

A container is at a pressure of 3 atm and a temperature of 280K. What is the new temperature when the pressure is reduced to 1.5

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

140 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial pressure of the gas (P₁): 3 atm

Initial temperature of the gas (T₁): 280 K

Final pressure of the gas (P₂): 1.5 atm

Final temperature of the gas (T₂): ?

Step 2: Calculate the final temperature of the gas

We have a gas whose pressure is reduced. If we assume an ideal behavior, we can calculate the final temperature of the gas using Gay-Lussac's law.

T₁/P₁ = T₂/P₂

T₂ = T₁ × P₂/P₁

T₂ = 280 K × 1.5 atm/3 atm = 140 K

What is the theoretical yield if 35.5g of Al reacts 39.0g of Cl2

atroni [7]

Answer : The correct answer for the Theoretical Yield is 48.93 g of product .

Theoretical yield : It is amount of product produced by limiting reagent . It is smallest product yield of product formed .

Following are the steps to find theoretical yield .

Step 1) : Write a balanced reaction between Al and Cl₂ .

2 Al + 3 Cl₂→ 2 AlCl₃

Step 2: To find amount of product (AlCl₃) formed by Al .

Following are the sub steps to calculate amount of AlCl₃ formed :

a) To calculate mole of Al :

Given : Mass of Al = 35.5 g

Mole can be calculate by following formula :

$Mole = \frac{given mass (g)}{atomic mass \frac{g}{mol}}$

$Mole = \frac{35.5 g }{26.9 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Mole = 1.32 mol

b) To find mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Al

Mole ratio is calculated from balanced reaction .

Mole of Al in balanced reaction = 2

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2.

Hence mole ratio of AlC; l₃ : Al = 2:2

c) To find mole of AlCl₃ formed :

$Mole of AlCl_3 = Mole of Al * Mole ratio$

$Mole of AlCl_3 = 1.32 mol of Al * \frac{2}{2}$

Mole of AlCl₃ = 1.32 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = $133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl3 can be calculated using mole formula as:

$1.32 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{ mass (g)}{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Multiplying both side by $133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

$1.32 mole * 133.34\frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass (g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} *133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl₃ = 176.00 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Al is 176.00 g

Step 3) To find mass of product (AlCl₃) formed by Cl₂ :

Same steps will be followed to calculate mass of AlCl₃

a) Find mole of Cl₂

$Mole of Cl_2 = \frac{39.0 g}{70.9\frac{g}{mol}}$

Mole of Cl₂ = 0.55 mol

b) Mole ratio of Cl₂ : AlCl₃

Mole of Cl₂ in balanced reaction = 3

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2

Hence mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Cl₂ = 2 : 3

c) To find mole of AlCl₃

$Mole of AlCl_3 = mole of Cl_2 * mole ratio$

$Mole of AlCl_3 = 0.55 mole * \frac{2}{3}$

Mole of AlCl3 = 0.367 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃ :

$0.367 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{mass (g) }{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Multiplying both side by

$133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

$0.367 mol of AlCl_3 * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass(g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl₃ = 48.93 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Step 4) To identify limiting reagent and theoretical yield :

Limiting reagent is the reactant which is totally consumed when the reaction is complete . It is identified as the reactant which produces least yield or theoretical yield of product .

The product AlCl₃ formed by Al = 176.00 g

The product AlCl₃ formed by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Since Cl₂ is producing less amount of product hence it is limiting reagent and 48.93 g will be considered as Theoretical yield .

A molecule with 14 total electrons and 12 total protons

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tenochtitlan was located on a swampy island in Lake Texcoco in what is today south central Mexico. The Aztecs were able to settle there because no one else wanted the land. At first, it wasn't a great place to start a city, but soon the Aztecs built up islands where they could grow crops. The water also worked as a natural defense against attacks from other cities.
