If oxygen, symbol o, undergoes a covalent bond it wants to form how many bonds

Chemistry

Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

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.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Mass of NaBr produced  = 23.67 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of AgBr = 42.7 g

Mass of NaBr produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na₂S₂O₃ + AgBr    →    NaBr + Na₃(Ag(S₂O₃)₂

Number of moles of AgBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 42.7 g/ 187.7 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.23 mol

now we will compare the moles of AgBr with NaBr.

             AgBr        :         NaBr

                1            :           1

              0.23       :         0.23

Mass of NaBr:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.23 mol × 102.89 g/mol

Mass = 23.67 g

Ksp for FeCO₃ is 3.07 x 10⁻¹¹
Ksp for MgCO₃ is 6.82 x 10⁻⁶
So Fe²⁺ will precipitated first as solubility product of FeCO₃ is lower than solubility product of MgCO₃
Ksp FeCO₃ = [Fe²⁺][CO₃²⁻] 
3.07 x 10⁻¹¹ = (2.3 x 10⁻²) [CO₃²⁻]
[CO₃²⁻] = 1.33 x 10⁻⁹ M to precipitate Fe²⁺ ions

Ksp MgCO₃ = [Mg²⁺][CO₃²⁻]
6.82 x 10⁻⁶ = (2.0 x 10⁻²) [CO₃²⁻]
[CO₃²⁻] = 3.4 x 10⁻⁴ M to precipitate the Mg²⁺ ions

Ksp FeCO₃ = [Fe²⁺][CO₃²⁻]
3.07 x 10⁻¹¹ = [Fe²⁺] (3.4 x 10⁻⁴)
[Fe²⁺] = 9 x 10⁻⁸ M when Mg²⁺ ions precipitate
