Oxygen is a diatomic element why?​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Tatiana [17]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Explanation:

Hope it helps you..

Your welcome in advance..

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.

Answer and work for this problem
MArishka [77]
We can write the balanced equation for the synthesis reaction as 
     H2(g) + Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g)

We use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and hydrogen gas H2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2 needed:
     mass of H2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol H2 / 2 mol HCl) * 
                           (2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2)                        
                        = 4.056 g H2

We also use the molar masses of hydrogen chloride gas HCl and chlorine gas CL2 to calculate for the mass of hydrogen gas H2:
     mass of CL2 = 146.4 g HCl *(1 mol HCl / 36.46 g HCl) * (1 mol Cl2 / 2 mol HCl) *
                             (70.91 g Cl2 / 1 mol Cl2)
                          = 142.4 g Cl2 

Therefore, we need 4.056 grams of hydrogen gas and 142.4 grams of chlorine gas to produce 146.4 grams of hydrogen chloride gas.

How many parts per million of lead is found in 250 ml of water if there is 1.30g of lead in the water? 1ml=1g
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

5200 ppm

Explanation:

As per the definition, parts per million of a contaminant is a measure of the amount of mass of contaminant present per million amount of the solution. It is denoted by ppm.

Given in the question,

Water = 250 ml = 250 g

Lead = 1.30 g

So,

ppm of Lead = \frac{Lead}{Water} \times 10^6 = \frac{1.30}{250} \times 10^6 = 5200 ppm

So, as calculated above, there is 5200 ppm of lead present in 250 ml of water.
