Answer:

both bonding electrons come from the oxygen atom

Explanation:

A coordinate covalent bond is said to be formed when an electron pair is donated into a empty orbital of an atom from a filled orbital of another atom.

In this type of covalent bond, the shared electron pair is furnished by only one of the bonding species.

The bonding between H^+ and H2O to form H3O^+ involves donation of a lone pair of electrons on oxygen into the empty 1s orbital of H^+ hence the two bonding electrons come from oxygen. This is why the bond is called a coordinate covalent bond.

Determine the missing species:

Galina-37 [17]

Answer: 4. $^{0}_{-1}\textrm{e}$ and $^{0}_{1}\textrm{e}$

Explanation:

a) The given reaction is $^{41}_{20}\textrm{Ca}+^{x}_{y}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{41}_{19}\textrm {K}$

As the mass on both reactant and product side must be equal:

$41+x=41$

$x=0$

As the atomic number on both reactant and product side must be equal:

$20+y=19$

$y=-1$

$^{41}_{20}\textrm{Ca}+^{0}_{-1}\textrm{e}\rightarrow ^{41}_{19}\textrm {K}$

b) $^{15}_{8}\textrm{O}\rightarrow ^{15}_{7}\textrm{N}+^{x}_{y}\textrm{X}$

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

15 =15 + x

x = 0

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

8 = 7 + y

y = 1

$^{15}_{8}\textrm{O}\rightarrow ^{15}_{7}\textrm{N}+^{0}_{1}\textrm{e}$

When elemental boron, B, is burned in oxygen gas, the product is diboron trioxide. If the diboron trioxide is then reacted with

zalisa [80]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the reaction of elemental boron and oxygen gas follows:

$4B+3O_2\rightarrow 2B_2O_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of elemental boron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of diboron trioxide.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and water follows:

$B_2O_3+3H_2O\rightarrow 2H_3BO_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of diboron trixoide reacts with 3 moles of water to produce 2 moles of boric acid.

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.

A voltaic cell is constructed from an Ni2+(aq)−Ni(s)Ni2+(aq)−Ni(s) half-cell and an Ag+(aq)−Ag(s)Ag+(aq)−Ag(s) half-cell. The in

eduard

Answer:

+1.03 V

Explanation:

The standard emf of the voltaic cell is the value of the standard potential of it, which is calculated by the standard reduction potential (E°).

The standard reduction potential is the potential needed for the reduction reaction happen, and it's determined by the reaction with the hydrogen cell (which has E° = 0.0V). The half-reactions of reduction of Ni⁺² and Ag⁺, are:

Ni⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ → Ni(s) E° = -0.23 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E° = +0.80 V

The value is calculated by a spontaneous reaction, in which the cell with the greater E° is reduced (gain electrons), and the other is oxidized (loses electrons). So, Ag⁺ reduces.

emf = E°reduces - E°oxides

emf = 0.80 - (-0.23)

emf = +1.03 V
