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.

prohojiy [21]

To make 1 Molar solution of hemoglobin ; 1600 grams of hemoglobin will be dissolved in 1 liter of water

The molecular weight of Hemoglobin is approximately 16,000 Daltons, when hemoglobin is converted to mM

16000 Dalton = 16000 ( g/mol )

given that 1 Dalton = 1 g/mol

To make 1 molar solution of hemoglobin using 1 liter of water

1 liter = 1000 grams

16000 Dalton = 16000 g/mol

Hence 16,000 grams of Hemoglobin is required to make 1 Molar solution of hemoglobin using 1 liter of water.

How could you dissolve more solid in a saturated solution in a liquid solvent? explain please

storchak [24]

There are 3 ways,
1) Increase the temperature of the solvent- The higher the temperature of the solvent, the faster we can expect the solute to dissolve

2 )Increase the rate of stirring- The faster the rate at which we stir the mixture, the faster we can expect the solute to dissolve

3) Decrease the size of the solute particles- The smaller the size of the particles, the faster we can expect the solute to dissolve in the. This is because small particles have a larger surface area that come into contact with the solvent

Hope this helps :)

A student weighs an empty flask and stopper and finds the mass to be 53.256 g. She then adds about 5 mL of an unknown liquid and

Delvig [45]

Answer:

a. The pressure in the flask open to the atmosphere during the vaporization of the unknown liquid is equal to the prevailing atmospheric pressure equivalent to 0.957734 atm

Explanation:

The mass of the empty flask and stopper, m = 53.256 g

The volume of the unknown liquid she adds = 5 mL

The temperature of the water in which she heats up the flask = 98.8 °C = 371.95 K

The mass of the flask and the condensed vapor = 53.780 g

The volume of the flask, V = 231.1 mL

The atmospheric pressure, P = 728 mm Hg

a. We note that the student stoppers the flask after all the liquid has evaporated. Therefore, given that the flask was open to the atmospheric pressure as the liquid evaporates, the pressure of the vapor in the flask is equal to the prevailing atmospheric pressure, or 728 mmHg

Using a calculator, 728 mm Hg is equivalent to 0.957734 atm.
