Two Pairs

The two oxygen atoms share two pairs of electrons, so two covalent bonds hold the oxygen molecule together.

Do oxygen atoms become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds? Explain. Pls help
QveST [7]

Answer:

They become more stable because they gain or share valence electrons giving each oxygen atom a set of 8 valence electrons. They change because the number of valence electrons changes in a pattern that repeats in each period.

0.80 g of hydrogen chloride (hcl is dissolved in water to make 5.5 l of solution. what is the ph of the resulting hydrochloric a
scoundrel [369]
HCl is a strong acid and so dissociates fully in water:
HCl(aq) --> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Since there is a 1:1 mole ratio between HCl and H+ in this reaction, the number of moles of H+ = number of moles of HCl. The number of moles of HCl can be calculated as moles = mass/RMM = 0.80g / 36.5g/mol = 0.022mol.
Since 5.5 l  of solution is made, the concentration of H+ is:
[H+] = 0.022mol / 5.5l = 0.004M. This can then be used to calculate pH through the equation pH = -log[H+] = -log(0.004) = 2.40

The mineral rhodochrosite [manganese(II) carbonate, MnCO3] is a commercially important source of manganese. Write a half-reactio
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

MnCO3 + 2H2O ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

Explanation:

<u>The</u> unbalanced equation

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-

In MnCO3, the oxidation number of Mn is +2

In Mno2, the oxidation number of Mn is +4

The change from +2 to +4 requires an addition of  2 electrons (to the right side).

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e-

The total charge now is -3 on the right side. To balance this we add 3 hydrogen atoms on the right side.

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

On the right side we have 4 hydrogen atoms in total. On the left side we have 0 hydrogen atoms. So to balance, we have to add 2H2O on the left side

MnCO3 + 2H2O ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

Now the reaction is balanced.
