Oxygen has 8 positively charged protons what is the number of negatively charged electrons in an atom of oxygen?

Chemistry

romanna [79]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

8 electrons (e-)

Explanation:

In the atom of every elements, there are three sub-atomic particles namely: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The protons are the positively charged particles, the electrons are negatively charged while the neutrons are neutrally charged.

In an uncharged or neutral atom i.e. charge 0, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons because they cancel each other out. When a difference occurs in the number of these particles, the atom becomes charged i.e. an ion. According to this question, oxygen atom (O) contains 8 positively charged protons, this means that it also contains 8 negatively charged electrons in its atom.

galvanic cell is powered by the following redox reaction: (g) (aq) (l)(aq) (s) (aq) Answer the following questions about this ce
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. the 1/2 reaction that occurs at the cathode

3Cl2(g) +6e^- -------------> 6Cl^- (aq)

2 the 1/2 reaction that occurs at the anode

2MnO2(s) + 8OH^-(aq) ----------> 2MnO4^- (aq) + 4H2O(l) +6e^-      

2MnO2(s) + 8OH^-(aq) ----------> 2MnO4^- (aq) + 4H2O(l) +6e^-

E0 = -0.59v

3Cl2(g) +6e^- -------------> 6Cl^- (aq)                                                  

E0 = 1.39v

3Cl2 (g) + 2MnO2 (s) + 8OH^(−) (aq)---------> 6Cl^(−) (aq) + 2MnO4^(−) (aq) + 4H2O (l)  

E0cell = 0.80v

How many liters are in a .00813M solution that contains 1.55 g of KBr?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

                      1.602 L (or) 1602 mL

Explanation:

             Molarity is the amount of solute dissolved per unit volume of solution. It is expressed as,

                         Molarity  =  Moles / Volume of Solution    ----- (1)

Rearranging above equation for volume,

                         Volume of solution  =  Moles / Molarity    -------(2)

Data Given;

                  Molarity  =  0.00813 mol.L⁻¹

                  Mass  =  1.55 g

First calculate Moles for given mass as,

                   Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

                   Moles  =  1.55 g / 119.002 g.mol⁻¹

                   Moles  =  0.0130 mol

Now, putting value of Moles and Molarity in eq. 2,

                         Volume of solution  =  0.0130 mol / 0.00813 mol.L⁻¹

                         Volume of solution  = 1.60 L

or,

                         Volume of solution  =  1602 mL
