Answer:

Answer: (b) F

Explanation:

Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.

The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.

Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.

The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.

The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.

The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.

How many mL of a 0.375 M solution can be made from 35 g of calcium phosphate?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

300 mL

Explanation:

the unit formula of calcium phosphate is Ca3(PO4)2

molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = (3×40 + 2×31 + 8×16) g/mol = 310 g/mol

n = m/M = 35 g/(310 g/mol)

c = n/V

V = n/c = [35 g/(310 g/mol)]/0.375 mol/L

V = 0.30 L = 300 mL

why do you use a graduated cylinder to measure out the desired volume of koh and h2so4, rather than a pipet or a buret?
sergey [27]

The graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of KOH and H2SO4 when accurate volume measurement is not required.

In the laboratory certain graduated apparatus are used to measure liquids. These graduated apparatus used to measure liquids include;

  • burette
  • pipette
  • measuring cylinder
  • Erlenmeyer flask

Sometimes, we are not really looking for a strictly accurate volume of liquid and we can use a graduated cylinder to measure the volume of liquid in such cases.

However, when we need to have strictly accurate volume measurement, we need a pipet or a buret.

What’s the SI unit of the amount of isopropyl alcohol in a beaker?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

mole

Explanation:

The mole in chemistry is used to represent the amount of any substance. Just like quantifying everyday things like a dozen, score, gross etc, it is a convenient unit of quantity of particles. A mole denotes 6.02 x 10²³particles of a susbstance.

Therefore, a mole is the standard unit(SI) for the amount of isopropyl alcohol in a beaker.

Write the ionization equation for hypochlorous acid, HClO, dissolved in water.
Pavel [41]

Answer:

HClO (l)  →  H⁺ (aq)    +       ClO⁻ (aq)

                 proton   and    hypochlorite.

Explanation:

HClO (Hypochlorous acid)

This is a weak acid that can be dissociated as this:

HClO (l)  →  H⁺ (aq)    +       ClO⁻ (aq)

                 proton   and    hypochlorite.

It is a weak acid, so it can adopt a Ka for its equilibrium

HClO +  H₂O  ⇄   H₃O⁺   +  ClO⁻          Ka

Molar mass = 52.46 g/m
