true or false does the octet rule state that all atoms want to have 8 valence electrons in the outer shell

Chemistry
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

false?

Explanation:

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds

Determine the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STp?
Arlecino [84]

5.58 X 10^{-25} Litres is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STP.

Explanation:

Data given:

molecules of oxygen = 0.015

number of moles of oxygen =?

temperature at STP = 273  K

Pressure at STP = 1 atm

volume = ?

R (gas constant) = 0.08201 L atm/mole K

to convert molecules to moles,

number of moles = \frac{molecules}{Avagadro's number}

number of moles = 2.49 x 10^{-26}

Applying the ideal gas law since the oxygen is at STP,

PV = nRT

rearranging the equation:

V = \frac{nRT}{P}

putting the values in the rearranged equation:

V = \frac{2.49 X10^{-26}   X 0.08201 X 273}{1}

V = 5.58 X 10^{-25} Litres.

Describe melting of a solid
kvv77 [185]
Answer- The particles in a solid gain enough energy to overcome the bonding forces holding them firmly in place. Typically, during melting, the particles start to move about, staying close to their neighbouring particles, then move more freely.

Complete combustion of 2.60 g of a hydrocarbon produced 8.46 g of co2 and 2.60 g of h2o. what is the empirical formula for the h
zubka84 [21]
1 mole of carbon dioxide contains a mass of 44 g, out of which 12 g are carbon. 
Hence, in this case the mass of carbon in 8.46 g of CO2:
 (12/44) × 8.46 = 2.3073 g
 1 mole of water contains 18 g, out of which 2 g is hydrogen;
Therefore, 2.6 g of water contains;
 (2/18) × 2.6 = 0.2889 g of hydrogen.
Therefore, with the amount of carbon and hydrogen from the hydrocarbon we can calculate the empirical formula.
We first calculate the number of moles of each,
Carbon = 2.3073/12  = 0.1923 moles
Hydrogen = 0.2889/1 = 0.2889 moles
Then, we calculate the ratio of Carbon to hydrogen by dividing with the smallest number value;
             Carbon : Hydrogen
  0.1923/0.1923 : 0.2889/0.1923
                       1 :  1.5
                      (1 : 1.5) 2
                     = 2 : 3
Hence, the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is C2H3
