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.

A mixture of 0.10 mol of NO, 0.050 mol of H2, and 0.10 mol of H2O is placed in a 1.0-L vessel at 300 K. The following equilibriu
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

[H2] =    0.012 M

[N2] =    0.019 M

[H2O] =  0.057 M

Explanation:

The strategy here is to account for the species at equilibrium given that the concentration of [NO]=0.062M at equilibrium is known and the quantities initially present and its stoichiometry.

                  2NO(g)         +    2H2(g)    ⇒        N2(g)      +         2H2O(g)

i  mol            0.10                   0.050                                             0.10

c mol            -0.038                -0.038                +0019                +0.038                                                

e mol            0.062                 0.012                  00.019               0.057

Since the volume of the vessel is 1.0 L, the concentrations in molarity are:

[NO] =   0.062 M

[H2] =    0.012 M

[N2] =    0.019 M

[H2O] =  0.057 M

Enter ionic and net equations: feso4(aq)+ na3po4(aq) arrow fe3(po4)2(s)+na2so4(aq)
stepan [7]

Answer:

<em> ionic equation : </em>3Fe(2+)(aq) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)+ 6Na(+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-) (aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 6Na(+) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)

<em> net ionic equation: </em>3Fe(2+)(aq)  + 2PO4 (3-)(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)

Explanation:

The balanced equation is

3FeSO4(aq)+ 2Na3PO4(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 3Na2SO4(aq)

<em>Ionic equations: </em>Start with a balanced molecular equation.  Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions . Indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion. Indicate the correct number of each ion . Write (aq) after each ion .Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged. The coefficents are given by the number of moles in the original equation

3Fe(2+)(aq) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)+ 6Na(+)(aq) + 2PO4 (3-) (aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)+ 6Na(+) + 3SO4(2-)(aq)

<em>Net ionic equations: </em>Write the balanced molecular equation.  Write the balanced complete ionic equation.  Cross out the spectator ions, it means the repeated ions that are present.  Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.

3Fe(2+)(aq)  + 2PO4 (3-)(aq) → Fe3(PO4)2(s)
