Why does oxygen exist as a diatonic molecule and not simply the O atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Brrunno [24]2 years ago
6 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. It has the lowest energy level when uncombined. ... By achieving octet configuration, the diatomic elements become more stable compared to the single atom.

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C. Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is one of the end-product of combustion reactions involving many fuels today.

With the rapid increase in urbanization and technological development, man demand for energy increased tremendously. The discovery of fossil fuels paved the way for the astronomical increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil invovles the process where the carbon atoms present in these fuels combine with oxygen in the air to make CO2. This has resulted in an increase in the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

The burning fossil fuels for electricity, industry, heat, and transportation are the major sources of the emossion of carbon dioxide.

Also, the cutting down of trees for paper production, building construction and for the establishment of settlements also increase the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees are help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis. However, when these trees are cut down, carbon dioxide accumulates in the atmosphere.

How many grams of barium sulfate are produced if 25.34 mL of 0.113 M BaCl2 completely react given the reaction: BaCl2 (aq) + Na2
jeyben [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of barium sulfate produced in the given reaction is 0.667 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles from molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Molarity of barium chloride = 0.113 M

Volume of barium chloride = 25.34 mL = 0.02534 L   (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.113mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of barium chloride}}{0.02534L}\\\\\text{Moles of barium chloride}=0.00286mol

For the given chemical reaction:

BaCl_2(aq.)+Na_2SO_4(aq.)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2NaCl(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of barium chloride is producing 1 mole of barium sulfate.

So, 0.00286 moles of barium chloride will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.00286mol=0.00286mol of barium sulfate.

Now, to calculate the mass of barium sulfate, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of barium sulfate = 233.38 g/mol

Moles of barium sulfate = 0.00286 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.00286mol=\frac{\text{Mass of barium sulfate}}{233.38g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of barium sulfate}=0.667g

Hence, the amount of barium sulfate produced in the given reaction is 0.667 grams

An electrolysis reaction is
Llana [10]

Answer:

the electrolysis reaction is a non- spontaneous reaction

Explanation:

Since electrons flow from it, the anode in an electrolytic cell is positive, while the cathode is negative when electrons flow into it. The device functions like a galvanic cell in that direction. In an electrolytic cell, an external voltage is applied and that is what causes a non spontaneous reaction

How fast is the speed of light?
Tpy6a [65]

The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum.
It's somewhat slower in any material substance, and different in
each substance.

(That's 186,282.4  miles per second.)

A gas has a pressure of 0.470 atm at 60.0 C. What is the pressure at standard temperature?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

P2=0.385atm

Explanation:

step one:

Given that the temperature T1=  60 Celcius

we can convert this to kelvin by adding 273k to 60 Celcius

we have T1= 333k

pressure P1= 0.470 atm

step two:

we know that the standard temperature is T2= 273K

Applying the temperature and pressure relationship we have

P1/T1=P2/T2

substituting our given data we have

0.47/333=P2/273

cross multiply we have

P2= (0.47*273)/333

P2= 128.31/333

P2=0.385 atm
