Answer:

1 oxygen atoms

Explanation:

When barium combines with oxygen to form an ionic compound, it will only require just an oxygen atom.

An ionic compound is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions

A metal loses electrons to be gained by the non - metal and in the process they attract each other with a force.

Barium has two valence electrons, to be stable, it loses the two;

Oxygen has six valence electrons, to be stable it will gain two valence electrons to form an octet.

So;

One barium atom will successfully bind with One oxygen atom to form

BaO

<u>Answer:</u> The heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. It is represented as $\Delta H$

The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$C_4H_6(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow C_4H_{10}(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})})]-[(1\times \Delta H_{(C_4H_6)})+(2\times \Delta H_{(H_2)})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_{(C_4H_{10})}=-2877.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(C_4H_6)}=-2540.2kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{(H_2)}=-285.8kJ/mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(1\times (-2877.6))]-[(1\times (-2540.2))+(2\times (-285.8))]\\\\\Delta H_{rxn}=234.2J$

Hence, the heat of hydrogenation of the reaction is coming out to be 234.2 kJ.
