Answer:

8.33m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled = 500m

Time taken = 60s

Unknown:

Speed of the sound = ?

Solution:

The speed the sound can be derived using the expression below:

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

So;

Speed = $\frac{500}{60}$ = 8.33m/s

Calculate the percentage composition of Mg3 (Po4)2

lutik1710 [3]

Mg3(PO4)2 - the molar mass would be 262g/mol, which is 100%

Atomic mass of Mg is 24, since we have 3Mg we multiply by 3 and get a mass of 72

262 : 100% = 72 : x%

x = 72*100 / 262

x = 27.5%

And do that for every element — get the molar mass of P and multiply by 2, use a ratio, and get the molar mass of O and multiply by 8 and use ratios :)

How many moles are in 17.50g of SO2

monitta

The formula for mole is
n= Mass/Mol mass
Mol Mass: S=32
O2= 16(2)
—————
64 g/mol
N= 17.50 g
————— (cancel both g)
64 g/mol
= 0.27 mol is the answer

Is O2 always a double bond?

Dima020 [189]

O-O single bonds and H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecules.
H-O single bonds in $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecules.
O=O double bonds in $\text{O}_2$ molecules.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How many valence electrons do atoms in each molecule need for them to be stable?

Each H atom needs two valence electrons to be stable.
Each atom of an element other than H needs eight valence electron to be stable.

There are two H atoms and two O atoms in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ need $2 \times 1 + 2\times 2 = 6$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two H atoms and one O atom in an $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule need $2 \times 1 + 2= 4$ more electrons to be stable.
There are two O atoms in an $\text{O}_2$ molecule. Atoms in each $\text{O}_2$ molecule need $2 \times 2 = 4$ more electrons to be stable.

How many chemical bonds in each molecule?

Each chemical bond adds one valence electron to each bonding atom. Each chemical bond connects two atoms. As a result, each chemical bond adds two valence electrons to the molecule.

Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $6 / 2 = 3$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule needs $4 / 2 = 2$ chemical bonds.
Each $\text{O}_2$ molecule needs $4 /2= 2$ chemical bonds.

What chemical bonds are these? Again, each H atom needs only one more valence electron to be stable. It will share only one electron with O and form one H-O bond. The rest of the chemical bonds are between O atoms.

There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}_2$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Two of the three chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. The other is an O-O single bond between the two O atoms.
There are two H atoms in each $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ molecule, which form two H-O bonds. Both chemical bonds in this molecule are H-O. There's no O-O bond in this molecule.
There is no H atom in $\text{O}_2$ molecules. Both chemical bonds are between O atoms. However, there are only two O atoms. There must be two chemical bonds between the two O atoms. That bond will be an O-O double bond.
