An element with the electron configuration: [noble gas] ns2 (n - 1)d10 np3 has how many_____________ valence electrons.

Chemistry

Answer:

The correct option is e. 5

Explanation:

An element with the electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ belongs to the nitrogen group element - group 15 - in a period higher than 2. The element could be As, Sb or Bi. For example, arsenic (As) has the electron configuration [Ne] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³.

The valence electrons are those in the highest energy level, in a s or p sublevel. For the elements with the general electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in a s sublevel and 3 electrons in a p sublevel. The electrons in the d orbital are in a lowest energy level (n-1).

Therefore, the correct option is e. 5.

How much energy is required to melt a 500. gram block of iron? The heat of vaporization is 6090 J/g and the heat of fusion is 24
galben [10]

The mass of iron block is 500 g. The amount of energy required to melt the iron block needs to be calculated. Melting means conversion of solid to liquid thus, heat of fusion is used which is 247 J/g.

From heat of fusion, 247 J of energy is released by melting 1 g of iron block. Thus, the amount of heat released by melting 500 g of iron rod will be:

H= 247 J/g× 500 g=1.23×10^{5}

Hence, option B is correct.

Four balloons, each with a mass of 10.0 g, are inflated to a volume of 20.0 L, each with a different gas: helium, neon, carbon m
weeeeeb [17]
On temperature 25°C (298,15K) and pressure of 1 atm each gas has same amount of substance:
n(gas) = p·V ÷ R·T = 1 atm · 20L ÷ <span>0,082 L</span>·<span>atm/K</span>·<span>mol </span>· 298,15 K
n(gas) = 0,82 mol.
1) m(He) = 0,82 mol · 4 g/mol = 3,28 g.
d(He) = 10 g + 3,28 g ÷ 20 L = 0,664 g/L.
2) m(Ne) = 0,82 mol · 20,17 g/mol = 16,53 g.
d(Ne) = 26,53 g ÷ 20 L = 1,27 g/L.
3) m(CO) = 0,82 mol ·28 g/mol = 22,96 g.
d(CO) = 32,96 g ÷ 20L = 1,648 g/L.
4) m(NO) = 0,82 mol ·30 g/mol = 24,6 g.
d(NO) = 34,6 g ÷ 20 L = 1,73 g/L.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

After measuring the solute, Carl should first dissolve the solid in a small amount of DI water before diluting to the total volume.

Explanation:

To ensure that all the solute dissolves in the solution, first dissolve the solid in less than the total volume of solution needed.
