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

Chemistry

romanna [79]2 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.

A reaction has activation energy of 85kjper mol. What is the effect on the rate of raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 d
DENIUS [597]

Answer: The rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree​

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]

where k_2 = rate constant at temp T_2

k_1 = rate constant at temp T_1

E_a= activation energy

R= gas constant

T_1= temperature = 20^0C=(20+273)K=293K

T_2= temperature = 30^0C=(30+273)K=303K

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-85\times 1000J/mol}{8.314J/Kmol}[\frac{1}{303} - \frac{1}{293}]

ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=1.15

\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=3

Thus rate increases 3 times on raising the temperature from 20degree to 30 degree​
