The electrons rearrange themselves to ensure that orbitals at lower energy levels are first filled before those at higher energy levels.

<h3>Electronic configuration</h3>

One of the rules of electronic configuration states that lower energy level orbitals are first filled with electrons before higher energy level orbitals.

Thus, the electrons in Gold will rearrange themselves to obey the above rule in order to achieve more stability.

Hence, the electronic configuration becomes: 4f^{14}, 5d^{10} ,6s^1

babunello [35]

Answer:

(A.) CO2, H2O

Explanation:

The chemical equation for respiration process is:

C_{6}H_{12} O_{6} + 6O_{2} → 6CO_{2} + 6H_{2} O + ATP↑

Energy is released during the biochemical process in the organism's cells in form of ATP. Byproducts of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water molecules.

Let me know if you require any further assistance.

What are the electrons capable of Sharing accepting or donating called?
Oliga [24]
Substances have different tendencies to donate or accept electrons. When a really good donor meets a great acceptor, the chemical reaction releases a lot of energy. Oxygen (O2) is the best electron acceptor and is used in many aerobic reactions (reactions with oxygen). Hydrogen gas (H2) is a good electron donor.

When O2 and H2 are combined, along with a catalyst, water (H2O) is formed. This example of a redox reaction can be written like this:

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Mass of H₂O is 3.0g

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Parameters that are known:

Mass of CO₂ used = 7.3g

Unknown: mass of water consumed = ?

Solution

To solve this kind of problem, we simply apply some mole concept relationships.

  • First, we work from the known to the unknown. From the problem, we have 7.3g of CO₂ that was used. We can find the number of moles from this value using the expression below:

        Number of moles of CO₂ =  \frac{mass}{molar mass}

  • From this number of moles of CO₂, we can use the balanced equation to relate the number of moles of CO₂ to that of H₂O:

       6 moles of CO₂ reacted with 6 moles of H₂O(1:1)

  • We can then use the mole relationship with mass to find the unknown.

Workings

>>>>     Number of moles of CO₂ =?

          Molar mass of CO₂ :

              Atomic mass of C = 12g

               Atomic mass of O = 16g

        Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (2 x16) = 44gmol⁻¹

     Number of moles of CO₂ = \frac{7.3}{44} = 0.166moles

>>>>>>   if 6 moles of CO₂ reacted with 6 moles of H₂O, then 0.166moles of CO₂ would produce 0.166moles of H₂O

>>>>>> Mass of water consumed = number of mole of H₂O x molar mass

             Mass of H₂0 = 0.166 x ?

Molar mass of H₂O:

                 Atomic mass of H = 1g

                 Atomic mass of O = 16

 Molar mass of H₂O = (2x1) + 16 = 18gmol⁻¹

Mass of H₂O = 0.166 x 18 = 3.0g

A sample of gold (Au) has a mass of 45.39 g.
professor190 [17]
<span>1. What is the molar mass of gold?
Molar mass is a unit that expresses the mass of a molecule per one mol. The molar mass can be obtained by adding the neutron with the proton of the atoms. Gold has atomic number 79 so the proton is 79. The number of the neutron is 118. Then the molar mass would be: 79 + 118 = </span>197 g/mol<span>


</span><span>2. Calculate the number of moles of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work. 
</span>In this question, you are given the mass of the gold and asked for how many moles the sample has. To find the number of moles you just need to divide the weight by the molar mass.
For 45.39 grams of gold, the number of moles would be:
45.39 / (197g/mol)= 0.23 moles


3. Calculate the number of atoms of gold (Au) in the sample. Show your work.Moles is unit of a number of molecules but 1 mol doesn't represent 1 molecule. The number of atoms can be obtained by multiplying the number of moles with Avogadro number. The calculation would be:
0.23 moles * (6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mol)= 1.387 * 10^23 molecules
