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

Chemistry

Marysya12 [62]4 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.

What mass of KNO3 would be needed to produce 18.4 liters of oxygen gas, measured at 1.50 x 10^3 kPa and 15 degrees Celsius?
Brut [27]

Answer:-

2328.454 grams

Explanation:-

Volume V = 18.4 litres

Temperature T = 15 C + 273 = 288 K

Pressure P = 1.5 x 10^ 3 KPa

We know universal Gas constant R = 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1

Using the relation PV = nRT

Number of moles of oxygen gas n = PV / RT

Plugging in the values

n = (1.5 x 10^3 KPa ) x ( 18.4 litres ) / ( 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1 x 288 K)

n = 11.527 mol

Now the balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2KNO3 --> 2KNO2 + O2

From the equation we can see that

1 mol of O2 is produced from 2 mol of KNO3.

∴ 11.527 mol of O2 is produced from 2 x 11.527 mol of KNO3.

= 23.054 mol of KNO3

Molar mass of KNO3 = 39 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 101 grams / mol

Mass of KNO3 = 23.054 mol x 101 gram / mol

= 2328.454 grams

Why is the cell a basic unit of life?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as yourself and other living things. The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life.

Are the atoms really "sharing" electrons? Explain.
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

yes, in certain cases

there are different types of bondings between atoms

and in some they lend electrons to make their atom stable this type of bonding is called ionic bonding

and in covalent bond the atoms share their electrons

Is the indicator generally added to the titrant or the analyte in a titration?
Nina [5.8K]
In a titration process, the unknown or the analyte with a known volume is placed in a flask and the titrant whose concentration is known is placed in the burette. The indicator in the titration process is generally added to the flask with the analyte.
