Answer:

Oxygen exists as a diatomic molecule in nature when it is not combined with any other element. It forms O2 molecule because it is stable when it is uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom. Therefore, oxygen and hydrogen are diatomic.

Answer:

Oxygen is a diatomic element because it consists of two atoms of same element O and O that makes O2.Diatomic molecules contain two atoms that are chemically bonded. If the two atoms are identical, as in, for example, the oxygen molecule (O2), they compose a homonuclear diatomic molecule, while if the atoms are different, as in the carbon monoxide molecule (CO), they make up.

Given that the molar mass of carbon is 12 g/mol and the molar mass of oxygen is 16 g/mol, calculate the molar mass of carbon dio

nekit [7.7K]

Molar mass of oxygen is:
M(O)=16 g/mol
Molar mass of carbon is:
M(C)=12 g/mol
Molar mass of carbon dioxide is:
M(CO2)=M(C)+2*M(O)
M(CO2)=12 g/mol+2*16g/mol
M(CO2)=44 g/mol

Molar mass(M) is the mass of 1 mole of the substance (grams per mole of a compound).

Answer: The temperature at which the food will cook is 219.14°C

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$
