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).

If you have 16 g of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate, how much water is required to prepare 0.16 M solution from this amount

Schach [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The amount of water required to prepare given amount of salt is 398.4 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the volume of solution, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.16 M

Given mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 16 g

Molar mass of manganese (II) nitrate tetrahydrate = 251 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.16M=\frac{16\times 1000}{251\times \text{Volume of solution}}\\\\\text{Volume of solution}=\frac{16\times 1000}{251\times 0.16}=398.4mL$

Volume of water = Volume of solution = 398.4 mL

Hence, the amount of water required to prepare given amount of salt is 398.4 mL

How are monomers and polymers related?

Korvikt [17]

Answer:Complex carbohydrates are formed from monosaccharides, nucleic acids are formed from mononucleotides, and proteins are formed from amino acids. There is great diversity in the manner by which monomers can combine to form polymers. For example, glucose monomers are the constituents of starch, glycogen, and cellulos
