marusya05 [52]2 years 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.

He reaction produces 1.6 g of gas in 30 seconds.Calculate the mean rate of the reaction in the first 30 seconds.Use the equation
devlian [24]

Answer:

Mean rate of reaction produced = 0.533 g/sec (approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Reaction produced = 1.6 gram

Time taken = 30 sec

Find:

Mean rate of reaction produced

Computation:

Mean rate of reaction produced = Reaction produced / Time taken

Mean rate of reaction produced = 1.6 / 30

Mean rate of reaction produced = 0.533 g/sec (approx.)
