The electronic configuration of an element is given below.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It is reactive because it has to gain an electron to have a full outermost energy level.

Explanation:

The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2,2s2 2p4.

Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight).

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that ________. A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that ________. in
Anestetic [448]

Answer: A Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that acts as a proton donor.

Explanation:

A substance that is able to donate a proton or hydrogen ion to another substance is a Bronsted-Lowry acid.

For example, HCl is a Bronsted-Lowry acid as it dissociates to give a hydrogen ion.

HCl \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + Cl^{-}

Thus, we can conclude that a Bronsted-Lowry acid is defined as a substance that acts as a proton donor.

A piece of fossilized wood has a carbon-14 radioactivity that is 1/4 that of new wood. the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

1.146 x 10⁴ year.

Explanation:

  • The decay of carbon-14 is a first order reaction.
  • The rate constant of the reaction (k) in a first order reaction = ln (2)/half-life = 0.693/(5730 year) = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.
  • The integration law of a first order reaction is:

<em>kt = ln [A₀]/[A]</em>

<em></em>

k is the rate constant = 1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹.

t is the time = ??? years.

[A₀] is the initial percentage of carbon-14 = 100.0 %.

[A] is the remaining percentage of carbon-14 = 1/4[A₀] = 25.0 %.

∵ kt = ln [Ao]/[A]

∴ (1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(t) = ln (100.0%)/[25.0 %]

(1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹)(t) = 1.386.

∴ <em>t </em>= 1.386/ (1.21 x 10⁻⁴ year⁻¹) =  <em>1.146 x 10⁴ year.</em>

A stream of air (21 mole% o2, the rest n2) flowing at a rate of 10.0 kg/h is mixed with a stream of co2. the co2 enters the mixe
Zepler [3.9K]
Molecular weight of air = 29 g/mole, moles of air entering = 5/29 kgmoles/hr= 0.1724 kg moles/hr
Moles of N2= 0.21*0.1724=0.036 kg moles/hr, moles of N2= 0.79*0.1724= 0.1362 kgmoles/hr
Moles of CO2 can be calculated from gas law equation, n= PV/RT
V= 25 m3/hr= 25* 1000 L/hr, P= 2 bar = 2*0.9869 atm,=1.9738 atm R= 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K T= 100 deg.c =100+?273.15= 373.15K
n= number of moles of CO2= 1.9738*25*1000/ (0.0821*373.15) =1611 moles/hr= 1.611 kg moles/hr
total moles of mixture = 0.1724 +1.611 =1.7834 kg moles/hr
Moles % CO2 in the mixed stram = 100*1.611/1.7834 = 90.33%
Answer is 90.33%
