Answer:

As two atoms approach one another, a chemical reaction takes place. In this scenario, these atoms will exchange electrons, resulting in a complete set of eight valence electrons. This interaction leads to the formation of a covalent bond, where valence electrons are shared and their outer electron shells overlap.

Explanation:

This response aligns with the evaluation criteria provided by my instructor, though grading standards may vary among different teachers. I hope this information proves useful.

Good Luck!!

Answer:

Cuando dos átomos se acercan entre sí, se genera un compuesto al compartir pares de electrones que cada uno de los átomos aporta, permitiéndoles alcanzar los 8 electrones de valencia (octeto) en su capa externa.

Explanation:

La configuración electrónica del elemento puede escribirse de la siguiente manera;

1s²2s²2p⁴

La configuración electrónica dada es equivalente a la del oxígeno, por lo tanto, tenemos;

El número de electrones en la capa de valencia = 2 + 4 = 6 electrones

Por consiguiente, cada átomo necesita 2 electrones para completar sus 8 electrones (octeto) en la capa externa.

Al acercarse los dos átomos, reaccionan y se combinan para formar un compuesto al compartir 4 electrones, 2 de cada átomo, de modo que cada átomo obtenga 2 electrones adicionales en su órbita externa en el nuevo compuesto y así se logre la configuración estable de octeto para cada uno de los átomos en el compuesto recién formado.

A 19.3-g mixture of oxygen and argon is found to occupy a volume of 16.2 l when measured at 675.9 mmhg and 43.4oc. what is the p
KiRa [2933]
<span>The partial pressure of oxygen is 438.0 mmHg. The ideal gas equation is expressed as PV = nRT where P represents pressure, V denotes volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol)), and T signifies absolute temperature. To convert from Celsius to Kelvin, we have 43.4 + 273.15 = 316.55 K. For the pressure conversion from mmHg to kPa: 675.9 mmHg * 0.133322387415 = 90.11260165 kPa. When solving for n using the ideal gas equation, we derive n = PV / (RT) which provides n = 90.11260165 kPa * 16.2 L / (8.3144598 (L*kPa)/(K*mol) * 316.55 K)= 1459.824147 L*kPa / 2631.94225 (L*kPa)/(mol), resulting in n = 0.554656603 mol. Thus, we have 0.554656603 moles of gas particles. Next, we determine the contribution from oxygen. The atomic weight of oxygen is 15.999 g/mol, while argon is 39.948 g/mol, and the molar mass of O2 is 31.998 g/mol. We establish the relationships where M is the number of moles of O2, and 0.554656603 - M gives the number of moles of Ar. Setting up the equation: M * 31.998 + (0.554656603 - M) * 39.948 = 19.3, we solve for M resulting in 0.359424148 moles of oxygen out of 0.554656603 total moles. This leads to oxygen providing 0.359424148 / 0.554656603 = 0.648012024 or 64.8012024% of the total pressure of 675.9 mmHg. The partial pressure therefore calculates to 675.9 * 0.648012024 = 437.9913271 mmHg, rounded to 438.0 mmHg</span>

A sealed 10.0 L flask at 400 K contains equimolar amounts of ethane and propanol in gaseous form. Which of the following stateme
castortr0y [3046]

Answer:

(C) The average speed of molecules in ethane is the same as that of propanol.

Explanation:

In gas behavior, temperature is directly linked with speed. At a constant temperature, speed remains consistent. Also, we understand that ideal gases exhibit uniform behavior, irrespective of their type.

What is the conjugate acid of each of the following? What is the conjugate base of each?
lions [2927]

Answer:

a. H₂O (conjugate acid); b. OH⁻ (conjugate base), H₃O⁺ (conjugate acid); c. H₂CO₃ (conjugate acid), CO₃⁻² (conjugate base); d. NH₄⁺ (conjugate strong acid) e. H₂SO₄ (conjugate acid), SO₄⁻² (conjugate base); f. No conjugate acid or base exists; g. H₂S (conjugate acid), S⁻² (conjugate base);

h. H₄N₂ (conjugate base)

Explanation:

a. OH⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂O

The hydroxide functions as a Bronsted-Lowry base, allowing it to capture a proton, thus water serves as the conjugate acid.

b. H₂O is amphoteric, capable of acting as either an acid or a base. As a base, its conjugate acid is H₃O⁺, whereas as an acid, its conjugate base is OH⁻.

c. HCO₃⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂CO₃

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CO₃⁻² + H₃O⁺

Bicarbonate is also amphoteric. When it captures a proton, it forms carbonic acid as the conjugate acid when acting as a base. When HCO₃⁻ acts as an acid and releases a proton, carbonate becomes the conjugate base.

d. Ammonia functions as a weak base, with ammonium being the conjugate strong acid.

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

e. Another amphoteric compound. Acid sulfate can function as both an acid and a base.

(similar to bicarbonate). Acting as a base yields sulfuric acid as the conjugate acid, while acting as an acid leads to sulfate as the conjugate base.

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄⁻² + H₃O⁺

HSO₄⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂SO₄

f. H₂O₂ does not accept H⁺ or OH⁻ nor does it expel H⁺. It’s neutral and does not function as an acid or base.

g. HS⁻ is amphoteric.

HS⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂S

HS⁻ + H₂O ⇄ S⁻² + H₃O⁺

This is similar to the case of bicarbonate or acid sulfate.

h. H₅N₂⁺ + H₂O ⇄ H₄N₂ + H₃O⁺

Hydrazinium acts as an acid, making hydrazine its conjugate base.

Assuming equal concentrations of conjugate base and acid, which one of the following mixtures is suitable for making a buffer so
KiRa [2933]

Answer:NH₃/NH₄Cl

Explanation:

The pH of a buffer can be determined using Henderson-Hasselbalch's equation.

pH=pKa+log\frac{[base]}{[acid]}

When the concentration of acid equals that of the base, the pH aligns with the pKa of the buffer. The ideal pH range is pKa ± 1.

Below are the buffers and their corresponding pKa values:

  • CH₃COONa/CH3COOH (pKa = 4.74)
  • NH₃/NH₄Cl (pKa = 9.25)
  • NaOCl/HOCl (pKa = 7.49)
  • NaNO₂/HNO₂ (pKa = 3.35)
  • NaCl/HCl Not a buffer

Thus, the ideal buffer is NH₃/NH₄Cl.
