How many valance electrons does oxygen have

Chemistry
1 answer:
svet-max [94.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Six

Explanation:

Oxygen has six valence electrons in its elemental form so its formal charge is 6 – 6 = 0. Each hydrogen atom owns one electron [(2x½) = 1].

1. Stirring increases the rate of solution
Blababa [14]

Answer:

1) <em>The correct answer is A. Collision</em>

2) A hot solvent helps a solid dissolve faster because an increase in <u><em>kinetic energy</em></u> that also increases the rate of collisions

Explanation:

When a solute is added into a solvent and stirred, the solute particles get distributed to all parts of the solvent as a result of stirring.

More collisions occur between the solute and the solvent due to stirring. This increases the rate of dissolving.

<em>When a solvent is heated, then the kinetic energy would increase and the atoms will collide with a much greater force. As a result, ore solute will be able to dissolve in the solvent. </em>

For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

What is the balanced equation for the combustion of magnesium?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

2Mg  +  O2 →  2MgO

Explanation:

In all conbustion you should know, that reactans are an specific compound and O2, so the products must be CO2 and H2O, or in this case, the corresponding oxide.
