In order to follow the octet rule, how many valence electrons do most elements

Chemistry
2 answers:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: D (8)

Explanation:

horsena [70]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

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.

Calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO3)2) Ca:H:C:O = 1:2:2 ___ Lithium sulfide (Li:2s) Li:S = 2:__
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: The ratio of atoms in calcium bicarbonate ; Ca : H : C : O = 1:2:2:6.

The ratio of atoms in lithium sulfide; Li : S = 2 : 1

Explanation:

In calcium bicarbonate:Ca(HCO_3)_2

In a molecular formula of calcium carbonate there are:

Number of Calcium atoms = 1

Number of Hydrogen atom = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Carbon atoms = 1 × 2 = 2

Number of Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6

So, Ca : H : C : O = 1 : 2 : 2 : 6

In lithium sulfide :Li_2S

In a molecular formula of lithium sulfide there are:

Number of Lithium atoms =  1 × 2 = 2

Number of Sulfur atoms = 1

So, the Li : S = 2 : 1

From the value Kf=1.2×109 for Ni(NH3)62+, calculate the concentration of NH3 required to just dissolve 0.016 mol of NiC2O4 (Ksp
Nina [5.8K]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of NH_3 required will be 0.285 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of NiC_2O_4, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of NiC_2O_4 = 0.016 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of }NiC_2O_4=\frac{0.016mol}{1L}=0.016M

For the given chemical equations:

NiC_2O_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_{sp}=4.0\times 10^{-10}

Ni^{2+}(aq.)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_f=1.2\times 10^9

Net equation: NiC_2O_4(s)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K=?

To calculate the equilibrium constant, K for above equation, we get:

K=K_{sp}\times K_f\\K=(4.0\times 10^{-10})\times (1.2\times 10^9)=0.48

The expression for equilibrium constant of above equation is:

K=\frac{[C_2O_4^{2-}][[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]}{[NiC_2O_4][NH_3]^6}

As, NiC_2O_4 is a solid, so its activity is taken as 1 and so for C_2O_4^{2-}

We are given:

[[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]=0.016M

Putting values in above equations, we get:

0.48=\frac{0.016}{[NH_3]^6}}

[NH_3]=0.285M

Hence, the concentration of NH_3 required will be 0.285 M.

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm
