13. Would you expect oxygen to form a cation or anion? How many electrons would it gain or lose? Why?
netineya [11]

Answer: C)Anion, it would gain 2 electrons to satisfy the octet rule.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies and thus the electronic configuration of oxygen with 8 electrons is

O:8:1s^22s^22p^4

The cation is formed by loss of electrons and anions are formed by gain of electrons.  

In order to complete its octet and get stable, it gains 2 electrons and thus would form an anion.

O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

If 185 mg of acetaminophen were obtained from a tablet containing 350 mg of acetamino- phen, what would be the weight percentage
Alex73 [517]

Percentage recovery gives us an idea of the amount of pure substance recovered after the chemical reaction. Percentage recovery can be more than 100 % or less than 100 %. Usually, in any experiment performed the weight percentage recovery will be less than 100. Percent recovery values greater than 100 show that the recovered compound is contaminated.

Amount of acetaminophen initially taken = 350 mg

Amount of acetaminophen obtained after recovery =185 mg

Weight percentage recovery =\frac{mass recovered}{mass originally taken}*100

                                                = \frac{185 mg}{350 mg}*100

                                               = 52.9%

Determine the empirical formula of the following compound if a sample contains 0.104 molK, 0.052 molC, and 0.156 molO;?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

K₂CO₃    

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of K = 0.104mol

Number of moles of C = 0.052mol

Number of moles of O = 0.156mol

Method

From the given parameters, to calculate the empirical formula of the elements K, C and O, we reduce the given moles to the simplest fraction.

Empirical formula is the simplest formula of a compound and it differs from the molecular formula which is the actual formula of a compound.

  • Divide the given moles through by the smallest which is C, 0.052mol.
  • Then approximate values obtained to the nearest whole number of multiply by a factor to give a whole number ratio.
  • This is the empirical formula

Solution

Elements                             K                       C                    O

Number of moles            0.104                0.052            0.156

Dividing by the

smallest                       0.104/0.052     0.052/0.052  0.156/0.052

                                            2                           1                     3

The empirical formula is K₂CO₃
