More unstable an electron configuration , the more reactive an atom will become.

How electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom?

This is happen generally, If we look at the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, they are all highly reactive as they have 1 electron in their outermost shells - an unstable configuration in terms of energy.

Also, the noble gases in Group 8 in the periodic table are 'inert' that means they don't react (or more correctly, have an incredibly low reactivity). This is because they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and thus have no need to acquire or lose electrons to possess a stable electron configuration.

Hence, electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

6) (a) Calculate the absorbance of the solution if its concentration is 0.0278 M and its molar extinction coefficient is 35.9 L/

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

6) (a) 0.499; (b) 31.7 %

7) 0.15

Explanation:

6) (a) Absorbance

Beer's Law is

$A = \epsilon cl\\A = \text{35.9 L&\cdot$mol$^{-1}$cm$^{-1}$} $\times$ 0.0278 mol$\cdot$L$^{-1} \times $ 0.5 cm = \mathbf{0.499}$

(b) Percent transmission

$A = \log {\left (\dfrac{1}{T}}\right)}\\\\\%T = 100T\\\\T = \dfrac{\%T}{100}\\\\\dfrac{1}{T} = \dfrac{100 }{\%T}\\\\A = \log \left(\dfrac{100 }{\%T} \right ) = 2 - \log \%T\\\\0.499 = 2 - \log \%T\\\\\log \%T = 2 - 0.499 = 1.501\\\\\%T = 10^{1.501} = \mathbf{31.7}$

7) Absorbance

$A = \log \left (\dfrac{I_{0}}{I} \right ) = \log \left (\dfrac{I_{0}}{0.70I_{0}} \right ) = \log \left (\dfrac{1}{0.70} \right ) = -\log(0.70) = \mathbf{0.15}}$

Why is carbon ideal for making different compounds?

In-s [12.5K]

Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

Cylinder of air at 1.5 atm of pressure is kept at room temperature while a piston compresses the air from 40 l down to 10 ml. wh

djyliett [7]

The new pressure, P₂ is 6000 atm.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Given,

P₁ = 1.5 atm

V₁ = 40 L = 40,000 mL

V₂ = 10 mL

To calculate,

P₂ =?

Boyle's law is applied here.

According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, a gas's volume changes inversely with applied pressure.

PV = constant

Therefore,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Put the above values in the equation,

1.5 × 40,000 = P₂ × 10

P₂ = 1.5 × 4000

P₂ = 6000 atm

Therefore, the new pressure, P₂ is 6000 atm.
