Answer:

<em>The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds. Atoms will react to get in the most stable state possible.</em>

Which one of these is the accepted name for the compound n2o5?
Leya [2.2K]
C is the correct answer. For nonmetal-nonmetal compounds, use the Greek prefixes

Mono - 1
Di - 2
Tri - 3
Tetra - 4
Penta - 5
Hexa - 6
Hepta - 7

And so on...

The reason D is not right is because a and o cannot be next to each other in between prefix and element.

Hope this helps!

What would the concentration be of a solution made
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

3 M

Explanation:

Given data

  • Moles of sodium hydroxide (solute): 5 moles
  • Volume of solution: 2 liters

We can calculate the molar concentration, or molarity (M), of the solution using the following expression.

M = moles of solute / volume of solution (in liters)

M = 5 moles / 2 L

M = 2.5 M ≈ 3 M (if we round off to 1 significant figure)

Carbon monoxide and chlorine combine in an equilibrium reaction to produce the highly toxic product, phosgene (COCl2 ) CO(g) Cl2
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Reaction will proceed towards forward direction.

Explanation:

Balanced reaction: CO+Cl_{2}\rightleftharpoons COCl_{2}

Reaction quotient (Q_{c}) for this reaction is represented as:

                                         Q_{c}=\frac{[COCl_{2}]}{[CO][Cl_{2}]}

Here, [CO] = [Cl_{2}] = 0.010 M and [COCl_{2}] = 0.070 M

                              So, Q_{c}=\frac{0.070}{(0.010)^{2}} = 700

As Q_{c} > K_{c} therefore reaction will proceed towards forward direction i.e. moreCOCl_{2} will be produced.
