Write the electron configuration for an oxygen anion with a charge of −2.

1 answer:

8 0

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6
This is the electron configuration of 02-
It is also known as noble gas like configuration and in general it is stable if oxygen is like that in a compound (8 electrons in its 2s and 2p orbitals combined)

Based on Gay-Lussac's law, which of the following statements is true for an ideal gas at constant volume and mole amount?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Option C. Pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation is given as:

PV = nRT

P = nRT/ V

Since n and V are constant, it means that P will be directly proportional to the absolute temperature

A 3.50 g sample of an unknown compound containing only C , H , and O combusts in an oxygen‑rich environment. When the products h

statuscvo [17]

Explanation:

First, calculate the moles of $CO_{2}$ using ideal gas equation as follows.

PV = nRT

or, n = $\frac{PV}{RT}$

= $\frac{1 atm \times 4.41 ml}{0.0821 Latm/mol K \times 293 K}$ (as 1 bar = 1 atm (approx))

= 0.183 mol

As, Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Hence, mass of water will be as follows.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

0.998 g/ml = $\frac{mass}{3.26 ml}$

mass = 3.25 g

Similarly, calculate the moles of water as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{3.25 g}{18.02 g/mol}$

= 0.180 mol

Moles of hydrogen = $0.180 \times 2$ = 0.36 mol

Now, mass of carbon will be as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

0.183 mol = $\frac{mass}{12 g/mol}$

= 2.19 g

Therefore, mass of oxygen will be as follows.

Mass of O = mass of sample - (mass of C + mass of H)

= 3.50 g - (2.19 g + 0.36 g)

= 0.95 g

Therefore, moles of oxygen will be as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{0.95 g}{16 g/mol}$

= 0.059 mol

Now, diving number of moles of each element of the compound by smallest no. of moles as follows.

C H O

No. of moles: 0.183 0.36 0.059

On dividing: 3.1 6.1 1

Therefore, empirical formula of the given compound is $C_{3}H_{6}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that empirical formula of the given compound is $C_{3}H_{6}O$ .

How many electrons must you add to Boron-10 to create a neutral atom? How many electrons must you add to Boron-11 to create a ne

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

What make Boron Boron is that it has 5 protons, and will therefor have 5 electrons in the unionized state. While I was looking this up I learned that there are two stable isotopes, Boron 10 with five neutrons, and boron 11 with six. The more common is boron 11, which is 80.1% of naturally occuring boron.

Explain how acid–base indicators can be used to determine the approximate pH of a substance.

mezya [45]

PH stands for potential hydrogen.
pH can be accurately tested using acid-based indicators since it is a part of the pH of something itself. (acid and bases) The indicators themselves work when the acidic properties of the indicator begins to dissolve and form ions which gives the color indicating the pH.
