The aim is to use less space while demonstrating the distribution of electrons in shells

If you want to depict how an atom's electrons are scattered across its subshells, an orbital notation is more suited.

This is due to the fact that some atoms have unique electronic configurations that are not readily apparent from textual configurations.

<h3>How does electron configuration work?</h3>

The placement of electrons in orbitals surrounding an atomic nucleus is known as electronic configuration, also known as electronic structure or electron configuration.

<h3>What sort of electron arrangement would that look like?</h3>
  • For instance: You can see that oxygen contains 8 electrons on the periodic table.
  • These 8 electrons would fill in the following order: 1s, 2s, and finally 2p, according to the aforementioned fill order. O 1s22s22p4 would be oxygen's electron configuration.

Lisa [10]
Molar mass of N2 = 28

Moles of N2 = 25 / 28 = 0.89

So, moles of NH3 produce = 2 x 0.89 = 1.78 

Note: H2 is in excess. so no need to care about it.

katrin [286]

Answer:

CO(g) + 2H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide has molecular formula CO, molecular hydrogen has formula H₂, and methanol is CH₃OH.

The reactants are CO and H₂ and the product CH₃OH:

CO(g) + H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)

To balance the equation, the elements must have the same amount on each side. C and O are balanced, but there is 4H in the product and only 2 in the reactant, so we multiply H₂ for 2:

CO(g) + 2H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)

And the equation is balanced.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

b) the reaction proceeds to a new equilibrium in the direction that offsets the change.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when a system experiences a constraint such as a change in pressure, temperature or concentration, the system will readjust itself in order to annul the constraint.

This simply means that when temperature, concentration or pressure is changed, a new equilibrium position is reached in order to offset the changes in the system.

How many dm3 of oxygen at STP would be required to react completely with 38.8g of propane? (3 marks)
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

98.56 dm^3 of oxygen at STP would be required to react completely with 38.8g of propane.

<u>Given that :</u>

molar mass of propane = 44 g/mol

mass of propane = 38.8 g

∴ Moles present in 38.8 g of propane = \frac{38.8}{44} = 0.88 mole

<u>applying rule of balanced equations </u>

1 mole of propane = 5 moles of oxygen

0.88 mole of propane =  5 * 0.88 = 4.4 moles of oxygen

Note : volume of 1 mole of oxygen at STP = 22.4 dm^3

∴Total volume of oxygen required at STP = 22.4 * 4.4 = 98.56 dm^3

Hence we can conclude that the volume of oxygen at STP required to react completely 98.56 dm^3
