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.

Calculate the energy required to heat 322.0g of ethanol from −2.2°C to 19.6°C . Assume the specific heat capacity of ethanol und

just olya [345]

Answer:

There is 17.1 kJ energy required

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of ethanol = 322.0 grams

Initial temperature = -2.2 °C = 273.15 -2.2 = 270.95K

Final temperature = 19.6 °C = 273.15 + 19.6 = 292.75 K

Specific heat capacity = 2.44 J/g*K

Step 2: Calculate energy

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of ethanol= 322 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat capacity of ethanol = 2.44 J/g*K

⇒ ΔT = T2 - T1 = 292.75 - 270.95 = 21.8 K

Q = 322 * 2.44 * 21.8 = 17127.8 J = 17.1 kJ

There is 17.1 kJ energy required

What is the boiling point of a 1.5 m aqueous solution of fructose? the boiling point elevation constant of water is 0.515Â°c/m.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer is: <span>he boiling point of a 1.5 m aqueous solution of fructose is </span>100.7725°C.
The boiling point elevation is directly proportional to the molality of the solution according to the equation: ΔTb = Kb · b.<span>
ΔTb - the boiling point elevation.
Kb - the ebullioscopic constant. of water.
b - molality of the solution.
Kb = 0.515</span>°C/m.
b = 1.5 m.
ΔTb = 0.515°C/m · 1.5 m.
ΔTb = 0.7725°C.
Tb(solution) = Tb(water) + ΔTb.
Tb(solution) = 100°C + 0.7725°C = 100.7725°C.

What mass of oxalic acid dihydrate, H2C2O4•2H2O, is needed to make a 0.357 M solution of oxalic acid in a 250.0mL volumetric fla

GalinKa [24]

Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. The mass of oxalic acid dihydrate needed for the solution is calculated as follows:

Amount in moles: (0.357 mol H2C2O4•2H2O / L) (.250 L ) = 0.0893 mol H2C2O4•2H2O

Amount in mass : 0.0893 mol H2C2O4•2H2O (126.08 g / mol ) = 11.2589 g H2C2O4•2H2O

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Convert 150 kPa to atmospheres. *

lakkis [162]

Answer: 1.48 atmosphere

Explanation:

Pressure in kilopascal = 150

Pressure in atmosphere = ?

Recall that 1 atmosphere = 101.325 kilopascal

Hence, 1 atm = 101.325 kPa

Z atm = 150 kPa

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

150 kPa x 1 atm = 101.325 kPa x Z

150 kPa•atm = 101.325 kPa•Z

Divide both sides by 101.325 kPa

150 kPa•atm/101.325 kPa = 101.325 kPa•Z/101.325 kPa

1.48 atm = Z

Thus, 150 kPa is equivalent to 1.48 atmospheres
