Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?

Chemistry
1 answer:
elena-s [515]3 years ago
5 0

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.

What is the mass of a sample of metal that is heated from 58.8°C to 88.9°C with a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 333 \ grams}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a sample of metal. We are given temperatures, specific heat, and joules of heat, so we will use the following formula.

Q= mc \Delta T

The heat added is 4500.0 Joules. The mass of the sample is unknown. The specific heat is 0.4494 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The difference in temperature is found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.

  • ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature

The sample was heated <em>from </em> 58.8 degrees Celsius to 88.9 degrees Celsius.

  • ΔT= 88.9 °C - 58.8 °C = 30.1 °C

Now we know three variables:

  • Q= 4500.0 J
  • c= 0.4494 J/g°C
  • ΔT = 30.1 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

4500.0 \ J = m (0.4494 \ J/g \textdegree C)(30.1 \textdegree C)

Multiply on the right side of the equation. The units of degrees Celsius cancel.

4500.0 \ J = m (13.52694 J/g)

We are solving for the mass, so we must isolate the variable m. It is being multiplied by 13.52694 Joules per gram. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 13.52694 J/g

\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= \frac{m (13.52694 J/g)}{13.52694 J/g}

The units of Joules cancel.

\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= m

332.6694729 \ g =m

The original measurements have 5,4, and 3 significant figures. Our answer must have the least number or 3. For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 6 in the tenth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.

333 \ g \approx m

The mass of the sample of metal is approximately <u>333 grams.</u>

Answer both 8 and 9 will give u brain list with explanation as well so don’t just answer
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

8. the answer is B.

9. the answer is A.

Explanation:

Hello!

8. In this case, by bearing to mind that the limiting reactant is always completely consumed and the excess one remain as a leftover at the end of the reaction, we can also infer that as all the limiting reactant is consumed, it must determine the maximum amount of product as the excess reactant will hypothetically produce a greater mass than expected; thus, the answer to this question is B.

9. In this case, since the mole ratio of oxygen to water is 1:2, the following proportional factor is used to calculate the produced mass of water:

3molO_2*\frac{2molH_2O}{1molO_2}=6molH_2O

Thus, the answer is this case is A.

Best regards!

3 elements that have similar properties
qwelly [4]

Answer:The elements in the first column of the Periodic Table (other than hydrogen) are known as Group 1A metals, or alkali metals. When you compare the chemical properties of these elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium), what you'll notice is that they are all remarkably similar.
