Answer:

2 pairs (4 electrons)

Explanation:

In a molecule of oxygen there are 2 oxygen atoms. There are 6 electrons in the outer shells of oxygen atoms. When 2 oxygen atoms form a covalent bond they share their electrons. In a diagram this would be represented by the overlap of the two circles representing the outer shells of both oxygen atoms. If each oxygen atom 'puts forward' 2 electrons into the centre, then 4 will be shared overall for each atom, making both atoms have full outer shells of 8 electrons each. 4 electrons make 2 pairs, hence the answer.

A mixture 21.7 g NaCl 3.74 g kcl and 9.76 g licl how many moles of nacl are in this mixture
slava [35]
Moles (mol) = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

Mass of NaCl = 21.7 g
Molar mass of NaCl = <span>58.4 g/mol
Hence, moles of NaCl = </span>21.7 g / 58.4 g/mol = 0.372 mol

Hence moles of NaCl in the mixture is 0.372 mol.

Let's assume that mixture has only given compounds and free of impurities.
Then, we can present this as a mole percentage.

mole % = (moles of desired substance / Total moles of the mixture) x 100%

Hence,
mole % of NaCl = (moles of NaCl / Total moles of the mixture) x 100%

Total moles of mixture = moles of NaCl + KCl + LiCl

Mass of KCl = 3.74 g 
Molar mass of NaCl = 74.6 g/mol
Hence, moles of NaCl = 3.74 g  / 74.6 g/mol = 0.050 mol

Mass of NaCl = <span>9.76 g
</span>Molar mass of NaCl = 42.4 g/mol
Hence, moles of NaCl = 9.76 g / 42.4 g/mol = 0.230 mol

Total moles =  0.372 mol + 0.050 mol + 0.230 mol = 0.652 mol

mole % of NaCl = (moles of NaCl / Total moles of the mixture) x 100%
                           = (0.372 mol / 0.652 mol) x 100%
                           = 57.06% 

Hence, mixture has 57.06% of NaCl as the mole percentage.

Discuss the changes of heated copper sulfate crystals and its reaction upon the addition of water. Write the reaction equation​
Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

If copper sulphate crystals are added to water then, the particles of copper sulphate crystals loses attraction between them and starts moving continuously and gets mixed up with water. It is called 'hydrated copper sulphate solution which is having a blue colour.
