Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A.

Explanation:

To solve this question, we must consider the total number of electrons that can be placed in each orbital.

         Orbital                  Number of electrons

             s                                   2

             p                                  6

             d                                 10

             f                                  14

Options given

A. 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²                 This electron configuration is correct because

                                              is in agreement with the number of electrons

                                              allowed in each orbital and the correct order

                                             of them.

B. 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3d⁴          This electron configuration is incorrect because

                                              3d⁴ goes after 3p.

C. 1s² 2s² 2d¹⁰ 2p³                This option is incorrect because 2d¹⁰ does not

                                              exist.

D. 1s² 2s^s 2p³ 2d¹⁰            This option has 2 mistakes, s as a power does

                                              not exist and 2d¹⁰ is also incorrect.

0.45 g of hydrated sodium carbonate crystals were heated until 3.87 of anhydrous power remained.
snow_tiger [21]

Formula of hydrated sodium carbonate : Na₂CO₃.10H₂O, so moles of water in one mole of hydrated salt = 10

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Hydrate is a compound that binds water (H₂O), usually in the form of crystals/ solids

If these compounds are dissolved in water or heated, the hydrates can decompose:

Example: X.YH₂O (s) → X (aq) + YH₂O (l)

The formula for the hydrated compound contains: YH2O

The mole ratio shows the ratio of the coefficients of the hydrate compound

10.45 hydrated sodium carbonate(Na₂CO₃.xH₂O) were heated until 3.87 of 3.87of anhydrous (Na₂CO₃) remained, so

mass H₂O released :

\tt 10.45-3.87=6.58~g

mass Na₂CO₃ = 3.87 g

mol ratio Na₂CO₃(MW= g/mol) : H₂O(MW=18 g/mol) =

\tt \dfrac{3.87}{105,9888}\div \dfrac{6.58}{18}=0.0365\div 0.3655=1\div 10

11. A sample contains 25% water and weighs 201 grams. Determine the grams of water in the
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

m_{water}=50.25g

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering that the by-mass percent of water is:

\% m/m=\frac{m_{water}}{m_{sample}}*100\%

Given such percent and the mass of the sample, we can find the mass of water in grams in the sample by solving for it as shown below:

m_{water}=\frac{\%m/m*m_{sample}}{100\%}\\ \\m_{water}=\frac{25\%*201g}{100\%}\\ \\m_{water}=50.25g

Best regards.

How many moles of sodium bicarbonate is needed to neutralize 0.8 ml of sulphuric acid?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

n NaHCO3 = 9.6 E-3 mol

Explanation:

balanced reaction:

  • 2 NaHCO3(s) + H2SO4(ac) ↔ Na2SO4(ac) + 2 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
  • assuming a concentration of H2SO4 6M....normally worked in the lab

⇒ n H2SO4 = 8 E-4 L * 6 mol/L = 4.8 E-3 mol H2SO4

according to balanced reaction, we have that for every mol of H2SO4 there are two mol of NaHCO3 ( sodium bicarbonate)

⇒ mol NaHCO3 = 4.8 E-3 mol H2SO4 * ( 2 mol NaHCO3 / mol H2SO4 )

⇒ ,mol NaHCO3 = 9.6 E-3 mol

So 9.6 E-3 mol NaHCO3,  are the minimun moles necessary to neutralize the acid.

Answer:

The statement that describes the gas of neon is

1. They are far apart.

2. They move constantly.

3. They move freely in all directions.

4. They move at high speed. Neon is termed as a chemical element. It is a noble gas.

It is odorless, colorless, inert monatomic gas when under standard condition. Neon is the second of the rare gases to be discovered. The second lightest inert gas.

Consider the following generic chemical equation:
vredina [299]

Answer:  238.6 J

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another.

Endothermic reactions are those in which heat is absorbed by the system and thus the energy of products is higher than the energy of reactants.

For the given reaction:

A+B+energy\rightarrow C+D

Energy of A = 85.1 J

Energy of B = 87.9 J

Energy on reactant side =  Energy of A + Energy of B  + Energy absorbed 85.1 + 87.9 + 104.3 = 277.3 J

Energy on reactant side = Energy on product side = 277.3 J

Energy on product side = Energy of C + Energy of D

277.3 J = 38.7 J  + Energy of D

Energy of D = 238.6 J

Thus chemical energy product D must contain is 238.6 J
