5 0

Answer:

About 19.64 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of gasoline. On the other hand, 22.38 pounds of carbon dioxide are produced from burning a gallon of diesel. So, different fossil fuels will give different amounts of carbon dioxide to be released.

Determine the number of protons, electrons, neutrons, valence electrons and valency in Oxygen atom (O) and Oxide ion (O2-). Comp
wolverine [178]

Answer:

<em />

<em>                    Atom (O)           Ion (O²⁻)</em>

<em>Protons             8                       8</em>

<em>Electrons          8                      10</em>

<em>Neutrons          8                       8   </em>      ← only for the oxygen-16 isotope.

* The number of neutrons depends on the specific isotope. It is equal to the mass number of the isotope less the number of protons.

Explanation:

<em>Oxygen</em> is the element with atomic number 8. That means that the oxygen atoms have 8 protons.

Protons have relative positive charge equal to +1 and electrons have relative negative charge -1: same magnitude opposite sign.

Thus, the neutral oxygen, O, has also 8 electrons and 8 protons.

As per the number neutrons it depends on the specific isotope.

The isotopes are identified by the mass number, which is the number of protons plus neutrons. For instance, oxygen-16 isotope has mass number 16, 8 protons and 8 neutrons, while oxygen-15 isotope has mass number 15, 8 protons and 7 neutrons.

Oxide ion O²⁻ is the oxygen ion with -2 charge, meaning that it has 2 more electrons than protons. Then, it has 8 protons and 10 electrons, again the number of neutrons depend of the specific isotope.

The stability of an atoms or ion refers to its trend to remain in the same state or react to form another species. The ions O²⁻ are less stable than the neutral atoms O, because the negative charge will be attracted to any positive ion so ti will react faster than the neutral oxygen atom (O).

How many moles of hydrogen are required to react with 4.6 x 10 22 molecules of nitrogen?
V125BC [204]

Answer: 6 moles

Take a look at the balanced chemical equation for this synthesis reaction

N 2(g] + 3 H 2(g] → 2 NH 3(g]

Notice that you have a  1:3  mole ratio between nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. This means that, regardless of how many moles of nitrogen gas you have, the reaction will always consume twice as many moles of hydrogen gas.

So, if you have  2 moles of nitrogen taking part in the reaction, you will need

2 moles N 2 ⋅ 3 moles H 2 /1 mole N 2 = 6 moles H 2
