The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas. The rule is especially applicable to carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and the halogens, but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium.
The valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram as shown at the right for carbon dioxide. The electrons shared by the two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice, once for each atom. In carbon dioxide each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon, two (shown in red) from the oxygen itself and two (shown in black) from the carbon. All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet.
Answer:
mass (g) needed = 710.2 grams Na₂SO₄(s)
Explanation:
Needed is 2.5 Liters of 2.0M Na₂SO₄; formula wt Na₂SO₄ = 142.04g/mol.
mass (grams) of Na₂SO₄(s) = Molarity needed x Volume needed in Liters x Formula Wt of solute
mass (grams) of Na₂SO₄(s) = (2.5L)(2.0M)(142.04g/mol) = 710.2 grams Na₂SO₄(s)
Mixing: Transfer 710.4 grams Na₂SO₄ into mixing vessel and add water-solvent up to but not to exceed 2.5 Liters total volume. Mix until dissolved.
Gives 2.5 Liters of 2.0M Na₂SO₄(aq) solution.

Answer:
1.79 mol.
Explanation:
- For the balanced reaction:
<em>2NaCl + F₂ → 2NaF + Cl₂.
</em>
It is clear that 2 mol of NaCl react with 1 mol of F₂ to produce 2 mol of NaF and 1 mol of Cl₂.
- Firstly, we can get the no. of moles of F₂ gas using the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 1.2 atm).
V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 18.3 L).
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = ??? mol).
R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),
T is the temperature of the gas in K (299 K).
∴ no. of moles of F₂ (n) = PV/RT = (1.2 atm)(18.3 L)/(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(299 K) = 0.895 mol.
- Now, we can find the no. of moles of NaCl is needed to react with 0.895 mol of F₂:
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
2 mol of NaCl is needed to react with → 1 mol of F₂, from stichiometry.
??? mol of NaCl is needed to react with → 0.895 mol of F₂.
∴ The no. of moles of NaCl needed = (2 mol)(0.895 mol)/(1 mol) = 1.79 mol.
