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 theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The yield is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of fluorene is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The oxidation, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

$2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O$

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

1. Mole ratio

$2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O$

2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles

$175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g$

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

$\text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol$

3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction

a) For CO₂

i) number of moles

$2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x$

$x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) For H₂O

i) number of moles

$0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

Hydrogen cyanide, HCN, is prepared from ammonia, air, and natural gas (CH₄), by the following process:

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

6.75 g of HCN can be produced by the reaction

Explanation:

Complete reaction is:

2NH₃ (g) + 3O₂ (g) + 2CH₄ (g) → 2HCN (g) + 6H₂O (g)

Let's determine the moles of each reactant:

11.5 g . 1mol / 17g = 0.676 moles of ammonia

12 g . 1 mol / 32g = 0.375 moles of oxygen

10.5 g . 1mol/ 16 g = 0.656 moles of methane

Now is all about rules of three:

2 moles of ammonia reacts with 3 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of methane

0.676 moles of NH₃ may react with:

(0.676 . 3) /2 = 1.014 moles of O₂

(0.676 . 2) / 2 = 0.676 moles of methane

Both can be the limiting reactant.

3 moles of O₂ react with 2 moles of NH₃ and 2 moles of methane

0.375 moles of O₂ will react with:

(0.375 .2) / 3 = 0.375 moles

The same amount for methane, 0.375 moles

2 moles of CH₄ reacts with 3 moles of O₂ and 2 moles of NH₃

0.656 moles of methane would react with 0.656 moles of NH₃

(0.656 . 3 ) /2 = 0.437 moles of O₂ I do not have enough O₂

Oxygen is the limiting reactant → We can work with the reaction now.

Ratio is 3:2. 3 moles of oxygen produce 2 moles of cyanide

0.375 moles of O₂ may produce (0.375 .2 ) / 3 = 0.250 moles

If we convert the moles to mass → 0.250 mol . 27 g / 1mol = 6.75 g

PH3, explain why there is a partial positive on hydrogen and partial negative on phosphorus.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.
