Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

  • Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
  • The atom has 16 electrons
  • the number of valence electrons is 6
  • If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
  • Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.

When 28 g of nitrogen and 6 g of hydrogen react, 34 g of ammonia are produced. if 100 g of nitrogen react with 6 g of hydrogen,
vampirchik [111]
N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3
When 100g of N2 , no of moles of N2= 100/(28)=3.57 mol
no. of moles of h2 = 6/(2)=3mol
Therefore h2 is limiting reagent.
no. of moles of ammonia= 3/3*2=2moles
mass of ammonia produced= 2 mol * (14+3)= 34g

This thermogram shows a person using a computer. Complete the sentence to describe the flow of thermal energy between the person
sergejj [24]
<h2>Answer : The thermal energy will flow from the computer to the person.</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

Usually computer are such devices which converts electrical energy into thermal energy and then it gets transferred to the person. The energy flows from the higher amount to lower amount. In this case, computer is producing higher thermal energy than the person that's the reason for the flow of energy from computer to the person.

Determine the pH of a 2.8 ×10−4 M solution<br> of Ca(OH)2.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

pH = 10.75

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must find the molarity of [OH⁻]. With the molarity we can find the pOH = -log[OH⁻]

Using the equation:

pH = 14 - pOH

We can find the pH of the solution.

The molarity of Ca(OH)₂ is 2.8x10⁻⁴M, as there are 2 moles of OH⁻ in 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂, the molarity of [OH⁻] is 2*2.8x10⁻⁴M = 5.6x10⁻⁴M

pOH is

pOH = -log 5.6x10⁻⁴M

pOH = 3.25

pH = 14-pOH

<h3>pH = 10.75</h3>
