Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

V125BC [204]

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

Substance in which two or more elements are combined in a fixed proportion

Firdavs [7]

Answer: compound

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: water $H_2O$

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air

What is the volume, in liters, of 1.40 mol of oxygen gas at 20.0°C and 0.974 atm?

topjm [15]

Answer:

V = 34.55 L

Explanation:

Given that,

No of moles, n = 1.4

Temperature, T = 20°C = 20 + 273 = 293 K

Pressure, P = 0.974 atm

We need to find the volume of the gas. It can be calculated using Ideal gas equation which is :

PV=nRT

R is gas constant, $R=0.08206\ L-atm/mol-K$

Finding for V,

$V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.4\times 0.08206\times 293}{0.974 }\\\\V=34.55\ L$

So, the volume of the gas is 34.55 L.

How do tectonic plates move at convergent subduction boundaries? Insert a drawing with the arrows that show the movement

boyakko [2]

Answer:

If two tectonic plates collide, they form a convergent plate boundary. Usually, one of the converging plates will move beneath the other, a process known as subduction. ... As the sinking plate moves deeper into the mantle, fluids are released from the rock causing the overlying mantle to partially melt.
