Answer:
When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;
1s²2s²2p⁴
The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;
The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons
Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell
When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the molar enthalpy of reaction is obtained by dividing the involved energy by the reacting moles:
Thus, it is important to notice that the compound "uses" the energy, it means that it absorbs the energy, for that reason the sign is positive. Moreover, computing the result in kJ/mol we finally obtain:
Best regards.
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
1)
we know that
half cell with higher reduction potential is cathode
so
cathode :
N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20
anode :
Cr(s) ---> Cr+3 + 3e-
so
overall reaction is
3 N20 + 6H+ + 2 Cr ---> 3N2 + 3H20 + 2Cr+3
now
Eo cell = Eo cathode - Eo anode
so
EO cell = 1.77 + 0.74
Eo cell = 2.51 V
now
in this case
oxidizing agents are N20 and Cr+3
reducing agents are Cr and N2
higher the reduction potential , stronger the oxidizing agent
lower the reduction potential , stronger the reducing agent
so
oxidzing agents
N20 > Cr+3
reducing agents
Cr > N2
2)
cathode :
Au+ + e- --> Au
anode :
Cr ---> Cr+3 + 3e-
overall reaction
3Au+ + Cr ---> 3Au + Cr+3
Eo cell = 1.69 + 0.74
Eo cell = 2.43
now
oxidizing agents :
Au+ > Cr+3
reducing agents :
Cr > Au
3)
cathode :
N20 + 2H+ + 2e- ---> N2 + H20
andoe :
Au ---> Au+ + e-
overall
2 Au + N20 + 2H+ --> 2 Au+ + N2 + H20
Eo cell = 1.77 - 1.69
Eo cell = 0.08
oxidizing agents
N20 > Au+
reducing agents
Au > N2
Answer:
B
Explanation:
And, water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.
