Explain how lithium atom is positive charge

1 answer:

4 0

Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)

klio [65]

Answer:

$Kp=3.07x10^6$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

$2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}$

$N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}$

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

$2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2$

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

$Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6$

Best regards.

Which spheres are part of the earth system

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).
