Use electron configurations to account for the stability of the lanthanide ions Ce4⁺ and Eu2⁺.

Chemistry

Inga [223]1 year ago

Eu2+ is stable because of the two electrons in its outermost orbit and after losing 4 electrons. Ce +4 is stable

What are lanthanide ions?

All lanthanide elements form trivalent cations, Ln3+, whose chemistry is largely determined by the ionic radius, which decreases steadily from lanthanum to lutetium. These elements are called lanthanides because the elements in the series are chemically similar to lanthanum.

The Ce metal has the following electronic configuration: [Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²

It obtains noble gas configuration after losing 4 electrons. Ce +4 is stable, so.

Eu's electronic setup is as follows.

[Xe] 4 f ⁷6s²

[Xe] 4 f ⁷

Eu2+ is stable because of the two electrons in its outermost orbit. Additionally stable is its +3 oxidation state. Ce⁺²

Calculate the moles of solute dissolved in 4.2 dm3 of a 0.5 mol / dm3 solution.
Archy [21]

Answer:

Example

0.5 mol of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in 2 dm3 of water. Calculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution formed.

Concentration =

Concentration = 0.25 mol/dm3

Volume units

Volumes used in concentration calculations must be in dm3, not in cm3. It is useful to know that 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3. This means:

divide by 1000 to convert from cm3 to dm3

multiply by 1000 to convert from dm3 to cm3

For example, 250 cm3 is 0.25 dm3 (250 ÷ 1000). It is often easiest to convert from cm3 to dm3 before continuing with a concentration calculation.

Question

100 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid contains 0.02 mol of dissolved hydrogen chloride. Calculate the concentration of the acid in mol/dm3.

Reveal answer

Converting between units

The relative formula mass of the solute is used to convert between mol/dm3 and g/dm3:

to convert from mol/dm3 to g/dm3, multiply by the relative formula mass

to convert from g/dm3 to mol/dm3, divide by the relative formula mass

Remember: the molar mass is the Ar or Mr in grams per mol.

Example

Calculate the concentration of 0.1 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide solution in g/dm3. (Mr of NaOH = 40)

Concentration = 0.1 × 40

= 4 g/dm3

3. A student measured 15.0 grams of ice in a beaker. The beaker was then
gregori [183]

Answer:

The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice at 0°C is 4,950 Joules

Explanation:

The mass of ice in the beaker = 15.0 grams

The initial temperature of the ice = 0°C

The final temperature of the ice = 0°C

The latent heat of fusion of ice = 330 J/g

The heat required to melt a given mass of ice = The mass of the ice to be melted × The latent heat of fusion of ice

Therefore, the heat, Q, required to melt 15.0 g of ice = 15.0 g × 330 J/g = 4,950 J

The heat that was used to melt the 15.0 grams of ice = 4,950 Joules.

Look at the equation CO2 + H2 = CO + H20.
sergejj [24]

Answer:

CO is considered as a product.

Explanation:

A general chemical equation for a combination reaction follows:

To write a chemical equation, we must follow some of the rules:

The reactants must be written on the left side of the direction arrow.

A '+' sign is written between the reactants, when more than one reactants are present.

An arrow is added after all the reactants are written in the direction where reaction is taking place. Here, the reaction is taking place in forward direction.

The products must be written on the right side of the direction arrow.

A '+' sign is written between the products, when more than one products are present.

For the given chemical equation:

are the reactants in the reaction and  are the products in the reaction.

Hence, CO is considered as a product.
