Knowing the electron gain enthalpy values for O rarr O^- and O rarr O^(2-) as -141 and 702 kJ mol^-1 respectively, how can you account for the formation of a large number of oxides having O^(2-) species and not O^-

A non-metal A which is the largest consituent of air, when heated with H_2 in 1:3 ratio in the presence of catalyst gives a gas B. on heating with O_2 it gives an oxide C. If this oxide is passed into water in the presence of air it gives an acid D which acts as a strong oxidising agent. To which group of periodic table does this non-metal belong?

"Equivalent mass" =("Molecular mass/Atomic mass" )/("n-factor") n-factor is very important in redox as well as non-redox reactions.With the help of n-factor we can predict the molar ratio of the reactant species specis taking part in reactions. The reciprocal of n-factor's ratio of the reactions is the molar ratio of the reactants. In general n-factor of acid/base is number of moles of H^(+)//OH^(-) furnished per mole of acid/base n-factor of a reactant is number of moles electrons lost or gained per mole of reactant. Example 1: (1)In acidic medium : KMnO_(4) (n=5)to Mn^(2+) (2) In neutral medium : KMnO_(4)(n=3) to Mn^(2+) (3) In basic medium : KMnO_(4)(n=1) to Mn^(6+) Example 2 : FeC_(2)O_(4)to Fe^(3+)+2CO_(2) Total number of moles e^(-) lost by 1 mole of FeC_(2)O_(4) =1+1xx2 implies 3 For the reaction, Fe_0.95O("molar mass=M") to Fe_(2)O_(3) what is the eq. mass of fe_(0.95) O ?

Deep sea divers have been using the compressed air containing N_2 in addition to O_2 for breathing. When the sea divers breathes in compressed air at a depth, more N_2 dissolves in the blood and other body fluids than would dissolved at the surface because the pressure at the depth is far greater than surface atmospherice p ressure. when the diver comes towards the surface, the pressure decreases and N_2 comes out of the body quickly forming bubbles in the stream which restrict blood flow and affect the transmission of nerve impuses. this results into a condition called 'the bends' which is dangerous and painful. To avoid this condition, professionals now use air diluted with helium. As a student of chemistry, can you analyse as to why helium is used?

The strength of H_(2)O_(2) is expressed in several ways like molarity, normality,% (w/V), volume strength, etc. The strength of "10 V" means 1 volume of H_(2)O_(2) on decomposition gives 10 volumes of oxygen at 1 atm and 273 K or 1 litre of H_(2)O_(2) gives 10 litre of O_(2) at 1 atm and 273 K The decomposition of H_(2)O_(2) is shown as under : H_(2)O_(2)(aq) to H_(2)O(l)+(1)/(2)O_(2)(g) H_(2)O_(2) can acts as oxidising as well as reducing agent. As oxidizing agent H_(2)O_(2) is converted into H_(2)O and as reducing agent H_(2)O_(2) is converted into O_(2) . For both cases its n-factor is 2. :. "Normality " "of" H_(2)O_(2) " solution " =2xx " molarity of" H_(2)O_(2) solution What is the molarity of "11.2 V" H_(2)O_(2) ?
