How does oxygen obey the octet rule

Chemistry

marusya05 [52]1 year ago
8 0

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

An oxygen atom, in free state has 8 electrons, 2 in the first shell, and 6 in the second. It can only achieve stability if the valency of the valence shell is 0. In order for this, it combines with another atom with the same valency, such as magnesium or another oxygen atom to obey the octet rule. Hope it helps.

Consider the reaction:
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

K = Ka/Kb

Explanation:

P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?

P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb

K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]

From the Ka equation,

[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

From the Kb equation

[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Equating them

Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant

K = Ka/Kb

If the acceleration is 600 m/s/s and the mass is 300 kg, what force is acting on the object?
vampirchik [111]

Explanation:

Acceleration (a) = 600 m/s²

Mass (m) = 300 kg

Force (F) = ?

We know

F = m * a

= 300 * 600

=180000 Newton

The force acting on the object is 18000 Newton.

101. During the making of steel, iron(II) oxide is reduced to metallic iron by treatment with carbon monoxide gas.
Yuki888 [10]

Explanation:

At a certain temperature, iron (II) oxide, FeO, can react with carbon monoxide, CO, to form elemental iron, Fe, and carbon dioxide, CO2. The value of Kp at that temperature is 0.242. What is the pressure of CO2 at equilibrium if a sample of FeO was initially in a container with CO at a pressure of 0.95 atm? The chemical reaction involved in this process is: FeO(s) + CO(g) ⟷ Fe(s) + CO2(
