In order to follow the octet rule, how many valence electrons do most elements
want?
a. 2
b. 4
c. 6
d. 8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: D (8)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell. When atoms have fewer than eight electrons, they tend to react and form more stable compounds.

Ionic bonds contain electrovalent bond

Explanation:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.

At 25ºC, gas in a rigid cylinder with a movable piston has a volume of 145 mL and a pressure of 125 kPa. Then the gas is compressed to a volume of 80. ML. What is the new pressure of the gas if the temperature is held at 25ºC?

Answers

Answer:

P2 = 226.6 kPa (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature t =  25ºC

Old volume v1 = 145 ml

Old pressure p1 = 125 KPa

New volume v2 = 80 ml

Find:

New pressure p2

Computation:

p1v1 = p2v2

125 x 145 = P2 x 80

P2 = 226.6 kPa (Approx)

P and Q are two substances such that the melting point of P and the boiling point of Q are the same. If P is a solid at a certain temperature, what state will Q be in at the same temperature?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Firstly, it should be noted that melting and freezing points are the same. Thus, when a substance melts at a certain temperature, it means it can also start freezing/solidifying at that same temperature. That been said, when the substance P is a solid at a certain temperature, the other compound Q will boil at that same temperature and hence will be a gas at that same temperature.

If P is solid, it simply means that Q must still be in the liquid state.

From the question, we can see that, the melting point of P and the boiling point of Q are the same. The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which the solid turns to liquid while the boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which a liquid turns to a gas.

If P is solid, it simply means that Q must still be in the liquid state. It has not yet started boiling since the melting point of P and the boiling point of Q are the same.

Answers

Question:

A student weighed an empty graduated cylinder. It weighed 35.86 g. She then carefully added water to the graduated cylinder until it reached the 7.5 mL mark. When she weighed the graduated cylinder again, this time with the 7.5 mL of water in it, it weighed 43.18 g. What was this student's experimental density of water?

Answer:

0.976 g/mL

Explanation:

Weight of empty cylinder = 35.86g

Volume of water = 7.5mL

Weight of cylinder + water = 43.18g

Experimental density = ?

Density of water = Mass of water / volume of water

Mass of water = (Weight of cylinder + water) - Weight of empty cylinder

Mass of water = 43.18 - 35.86 = 7.32g

Density = 7.32 / 7.5 = 0.976 g/mL

The speed of a mechanical wave through a medium depends on the type of medium. It also depends on the type of mechanical wave. Which statement is true?

Answers

The statements are;

A) All waves travel at the same speed if no medium is present.

B) Electromagnetic waves require a medium, but mechanical waves do not.

C) All waves travel at the same speed through any medium.

D) Mechanical waves require a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Answer:

Statement D is true.

Mechanical waves require a medium, but electromagnetic waves do not.

Explanation:

The two types of waves are;

Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical waves require a medium, such as an atmosphere or water, to enable it transport its energy. For example sound waves occur when you clap and thereby distort the air around.

Whereas, Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to enable it transport its energy. A good example would be light. Normally, Electromagnetic waves are usually formed when the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other.

So electromagnetic waves can transmit without a medium because electric and magnetic fields can exist independently without a medium.

Rust forms when iron metal reacts with oxygen gas. Which chemical reaction best
supports the law of conservation of mass?
A. Fe + O2 --> Fe2O3
B. 2Fe + O2 --> 2Fe2O3
C. 3Fe + 202 --> Fe2O3
D. 4Fe + 302 --> 2Fe2O3

Answers

Answer:

D. 4Fe + 302 --> 2Fe2O3

Explanation:

The equation that bests supports the law of conservation of mass is the choice D;

       4Fe  +   3O₂  →   2Fe₂O₃

Based on the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same. Only the fourth choice proves this law;

           4Fe  +   3O₂  →   2Fe₂O₃

                                                Number of atoms

    Elements              Left hand side                            Right hand side

        Fe                                4                                                     4

        O                                 6                                                      6

We can see that both side of the expression have the same number of atoms and the equation is balanced.

Here is the electron configuration for Magnesium. How many total electrons are in the 2nd energy level?

Mg: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2

Answers

Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Magnesium is present on group 2.

It has 2 valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)

2nd energy  level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)

3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)

3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

It react with halogens and form salt. For example,

Mg + Cl₂   →   MgCl₂

Answers

Answer:

9 g

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

CH₄ + 2O₂    →       CO₂ + 2H₂O

4        16                 11         9

4+16 = 20               11+9 = 20

9 gram of water must be produced because according to law of conservation of mass, mass neither created nor destroyed thus on both side of equation mass must be same.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by French chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.
