Answer:

Explanation:

Diamagnetism , paramagnetism and ferromagnetism are terms which are used to describe the magnetic activity of transition metals. These terms helps to know the response the metal will have when placed in a magnetic field. These activities can be discerned from the d-block electronic configuration. If the number of electrons are even, this means they all form a pair and the metal is diamagnetic. If otherwise, there is an unpaired electron which causes the paramagnetic activity of the metal in magnetic field.

To the question, options A-D are diamagnetic but configurations with d8 are the ones that form square planar complexes

How many grams of chromium metal are plated out when a constant current of 8.00 a is passed through an aqueous solution containi

Oliga [24]

We can solve this without a concrete formula through dimensional analysis. This works by manipulating the units such that you end up with the unit of the final answer. Manipulate them by cancelling units that appear both in the numerator and denominator side. As a result, we must be left with the units of g. The current in A or amperes is equivalent to amount of Coulombs per second. Since this involves Coulombs, we will use the Faraday's constant which is 96,500 C/mol electron. The reaction is:

Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻ --> Cr(s)

This means that for every 3 moles of electron transferred, 1 mole of Chromium metal is plated. The molar mass of Cr: 52 g/mol. The solution is as follows:

Mass of Chromium metal = (8 C/s)(60 s/1 min)(160 min)(1 mol e⁻/96,500 C)(1 mol Cr/3 mol e)(52 g/mol)
Mass of Chromium metal = 13.79 g

I NEED HELP ASAP, WILL MARK BRAINLEST!

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

1. 90%

2. 217.4 g O₂

3. 95.0%

4. Trial 2 ratios

Explanation:

Original: SiCl₄ + O₂ → SiO₂ + Cl₂

Balanced: SiCl₄ + O₂ → SiO₂ + 2Cl₂

Trial SiCl₄ O₂ SiO₂

1 120 g 240 g 38.2 g

2 75 g 50 g 25.2 g

Percentage yield for trial 1

We need to get actual yield (38.2 g) and theoretical yield, in grams.

Mass to moles:

molar mass SiCl₄: 28.09 + 4(35.45) = 169.9 g/mol

120 g SiCl₄ x 1 mol/169.9 g = .706 mol SiCl₄

Moles to moles:

For each mole SiCl₄, we have one mol SiO₂ based on the balanced rxn.

.706 mol SiCl₄ = .706 mol SiO₂

Moles to mass:

molar mass SiO₂: 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol

.706 mol SiO₂ x 60.09g/mol = 42.44 g SiO₂

Theoretical yield:

actual/theoretical x 100

38.2 / 42.44 = .900 = 90.0% yield

Leftover reactant for trial 1

We know oxygen is the excess reactant.

Mass to moles:

molar mass O₂ = 32.00 g/mol

240 g O₂ x 1 mol/32.00 g = 7.5 mol O₂

We used .706 mol SiO₂, so we also used .706 mol O₂.

7.5 - .706 = 6.8 moles left over

Moles to mass:

6.8 mol O₂ x 32.00g/mol = 217.4 g O₂

Percentage yield for trial 2

Mass to moles:

molar mass SiCl₄: 169.9 g/mol

75 g SiCl₄ x 1 mol/169.9 g = .441 mol SiCl₄

Moles to moles:

For each mole SiCl₄, we have one mol SiO₂ based on the balanced rxn.

.441 mol SiCl₄ = .441 mol SiO₂

Moles to mass:

molar mass SiO₂: 60.09 g/mol

.441 mol SiO₂ x 60.09g/mol = 26.5 g SiO₂

Theoretical yield:

actual/theoretical x 100

25.2 / 26.5 = .950 = 95.0% yield

Because the percentage yield of trial 2 is higher than that of trial 1, we know that the ratio of reactants in trial 2 is more efficient! We got a result closer to our theoretical yield.

Which products would result from the double replacement reaction between mgcl2(aq) and na2co3(aq)?

Andrew [12]

Double displacement reactions are when the cations and anions of 2 compounds are exchanged. Cation of one reactant will form a new product with the anion of the other reactant and vice versa.
MgCl₂ --> Mg²⁺ + 2Cl⁻
Na₂CO₃ --> 2Na⁺ + CO₃²⁻
the cations and anions are exchanged therefore double displacement reaction is as follows;
MgCl₂(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) --> MgCO₃(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

In the equilibrium system described by: PO43-(aq) + H2O(1) = HPO42-(aq) + OH-(aq) Brønsted-Lowry theory would designate: A) PO43

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The correct option is: B) H₂0 and OH⁻ as a conjugate pair

Explanation:

According to Brønsted-Lowry theory, the acids are the chemical substances that form a conjugate base by donating a proton and bases are the chemical substances that form conjugate acid by accepting a proton.

In the given chemical reaction: PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

According to Brønsted-Lowry theory, PO₄³⁻ and OH⁻ are bases. Whereas, H₂O and HPO₄²⁻ are acids.

Also, PO₄³⁻ and HPO₄²⁻ are the conjugate acid-base pair; and H₂O and OH⁻ are the conjugate acid-base pair.

A fog forms over a lake. What two changes of state must occur to produce the fog? Do the water molecules absorb or release energ

fomenos

Water typically exist in its gaseous state in the atmosphere. Fog contains droplets of liquid water suspended in the air. Thus to produce a fog, vapor in the air would undergo condensation with a state change from gas to liquid.

Intermolecular interactions between water molecules strengthen as the vapor condenses to produce a liquid. The condensation of vapor thus involves a production of energy. With all the extra intermolecular interactions, molecules in the fog would find it more difficult to move around and therefore see a decrease in their motion.
