Answer:

Explanation:

The first 2 electrons are in the inner shell, and the other 6 are valence electrons. Oxygen needs 2 more electrons to fill its valence shell and satisfy the octet rule.

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign

zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the $v_{rms}$ speed is as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

where, $v_{rms}$ = root mean square speed

k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of $v_{rms}$ as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}$

= 498.5 m/s

Hence, $v_{rms}$ for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its $v_{rms}$ speed as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}$

= 524.5 m/s

Therefore, $v_{rms}$ speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

How many liters of fluorine gas, at standard temperature and pressure, will react with 23.5 grams of potassium metal? Show all o

Sladkaya [172]

Potassium 23.5g/39.0983g/mol = 0.601mol

The Ratio of reactants is 2 to 1 so (0.601mol)/2 = 0.3005mol

Therefore 0.3005mol of F2 is needed to find liters use

formula V = nRT/P (V)Volume = 22.41L

(T)Temperature = 273K or 0.0 Celsius

(P)Pressure = 1.0atm

(R)value is always .08206 with atm n = 0.3005moles (273)(.08206)(0.3005)/1 = V V = 6.7319 Liters

How many half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value?4247.56.56

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given:

Concentration is decreased to 1.56 % which means that 0.0156 of $[A_0]$ is decomposed. So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}$ = 0.0156

Thus,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}$

$0.0156=e^{-k\times t}$

kt = 4.1604

The expression for the half life is:-

Half life = 15.0 hours

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$\frac{4.1604}{t}=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$t = 6\times t_{1/2}$

6 half-lives are required for the concentration of reactant to decrease to 1.56% of its original value.
