How many atoms are in an oxygen molecule?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

two atoms

Explanation:

In its stable molecular form, oxygen exists as two atoms and is written O2. to distinguish it from an atom of oxygen O, or ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, O3. Even though each of these is all oxygen, combining atoms of the same element may give very different properties to the molecule.

How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.862 J at 691 nm?
Inga [223]
To calculate how many photons are in a certain amount of energy (joules) we need to know how much energy is in one photon.
Start by using two equations:
Energy of a photon = Frequency * Planck's constant (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s)
Speed of light (constant 3 * 10^8 m/s) = Frequency * Wavelength
Which means:
frequency = Speed of Light / Wavelength
So energy of a photon = (Speed of light * Planck's constant)/(Wavelength)
You may have seen this equation as E = hc/<span>λ</span>
We have a wavelength of 691 nm or 691 * 10^-9 meters
So we can plug in all of our knowns:
E = (6.626 * 10^(-34) J-s) * (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / (691 * 10^-9 m) = 
2.88 * 10^(-19) joules per photon
Now we have joules per photon, and the total number of joules (0.862 joules)
,so divide joules by joules per photon, and we have the number of photons:
0.862 J/ (2.88 * 10^(-19) J/photon) = 3.00 * 10^18 photons.

rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.

Which of the following will increase entropy in a reaction?
Lapatulllka [165]

B. Heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system.

Entropy is also the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.

S = ΔH/T

where;

  • S is entropy
  • ΔH is energy input
  • T is  temperature

Entropy increases in reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.

However, entropy increases as temperature increases. Thus, heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.

Ice cubes in water and explain why it is either a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture.
alexandr402 [8]
Ice cubes are made of water which has undergone freezing, which made it into ice. Both ice cubes and water have the same properties. But in this case, when ice and water are mixed, it is considered a heterogeneous mixture and not homogeneous. Why? Going back to the definition of what a heterogeneous mixture is, this mixture shows a visible difference of difference phases or substances. In the ice and water mixture, it is obviously seen that ice is solid, and water is liquid.

Which of the following is not a possible termination step in the free radical chlorination of methane? Group of answer choices ∙
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: first option is not a termination

∙CH3 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + Cl∙

Explanation:

Since a radical is formed as part of the product it means it's a propagation step and not a termination step, at termination no free radical exist as product
