Why is oxygen paramagnetic? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
May 3, 2016 · Paramagnetic molecules are molecules that have single electrons. When I draw the lewis structure of $\\ce{O2}$, it appears to be a diamagnetic structure. What makes it paramagnetic?
Why are some molecules unable to absorb infrared radiation?
Apr 29, 2017 · Methane $\\ce{CH4}$ is symmetrical and non polar, and so is oxygen $\\ce{O2}$. But $\\ce{O2}$ doesn't absorb IR. Why is that? People say that if a molecule can change its polarity then …
Enthalpy of the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen
In this case, the enthalpy of $484\ \mathrm {kJ}$ is released when $2\ \mathrm {mol}$ of hydrogen gas react with $1\ \mathrm {mol}$ of oxygen gas to form $2\ \mathrm {mol}$ of gaseous water: $$\ce …
inorganic chemistry - What is the n factor of H2O2 undergoing ...
Feb 26, 2021 · The n-factor for $\ce {O2}$ should be $2$ as can be seen in the first half-reaction, and for $\ce {H2O}$ the n-factor should be $1$, since we have $2$ moles of $\ce {e-}$ in the second half …
thermodynamics - How come I get different Gibbs free energy for the ...
Apr 4, 2020 · The equilibrium constant changes, too. The only thing that does not change is the standard cell potential because that is per electron, so to speak, and not per mol of reaction. It is kind of weird …
Why do we call O2 oxygen? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Nov 25, 2018 · Likewise $\ce {O2}$ is as much oxygen as atomic oxygen is. The only complication is that what we habitually think of as oxygen is oxygen as a gas comprised of $\ce {O2}$ molecules. …
Why is oxygen an oxidizing agent? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Feb 16, 2018 · -2 Oxygen (O2) generally exists as diradicals i.e. each oxygen bonded to each other through single bonds and the remaining two electrons remains on each oxygen atoms as radicals. …
