Nonmetals form negatively charged ions, or anions. They do this because they need to gain one to three electrons in order to achieve an octet of valence electrons, making them isoelectronic with the noble gas at the end of the period to which they belong.

Explain Charles law​
kodGreya [7K]

"Charles Law" is the relationship between "volume-temperature" (V ∝ T).

<u>Explanation</u>:  

Charles Law is basically volume-temperature relationship (V ∝ T). French scientist “Jacques Charles” in 1787 studied effect of temperature on the volume of gases at constant pressure, which described how gases manage to expand when heated. Law stated as “At constant pressure, the volume of a given "mass" of a gas decreases or increases by 1/273 of its volume at 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} for each one degree rise or fall in temperature”. Formula derived from law is as follows: \mathbf{V}_{\mathbf{t}}=\mathbf{V}_{0}[\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{t} / \mathbf{2} 7 \mathbf{3}] here {V}_{0} is volume of given mass of a gas at 0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}, {V}_{t} is its volume at any temperature t^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. Application of Charles law is hot air balloons.

Lead(II) sulfide, PbS, reacts with oxygen gas to produce lead(II)oxide and dioxide. If 0.500 moles of O2 were consumed using thi
Andreas93 [3]
I think you mean:
".. reacts with oxygen gas to produce lead (II) oxide and 'sulfur' dioxide..."

The balanced chemical reaction would be
2PbS + 3O2 --> 2PbO + 2SO2

The stiochiometric ratio is this: 3 moles of O2 produces 2 moles of lead (II) oxide. So,

0.500 moles (2/3) = 0.333 moles

Therefore, 0.333 moles of PbO is produced when 0.500 moles of O2 reacts with PbS.

Sodium sulfate dissolves as follows: Na2SO4(s) → 2Na+(aq) + SO42- (aq). How many moles of Na2SO4 are required to make 1.0 L of s
maxonik [38]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of Na_2SO_4 is 0.05 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.10 mol/L

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.10mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of sodium}}{1.0L}\\\\\text{Moles of sodium}=0.10mol

The chemical reaction for the ionization of sodium sulfate follows the equation:

Na_2SO_4(s)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq.)+SO_4^{2-}(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of sodium ions are produced by 1 mole of sodium sulfate

So, 0.10 moles of sodium ions will be produced by = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1=0.05moles of sodium sulfate.

Hence, the number of moles of Na_2SO_4 is 0.05 moles.
