VB theory does not indicate that the diatomic molecule He₂ is a viable species.

Helium has atomic number 2, it has 2 protons and 2 electrons.

Electron configuration of helium atom: ₂He 1s².

Helim (He) is a noble gas.

Noble gases (group 18) are in group 18: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe) and radon (Rn). They have very low chemical reactivity.

Noble gases have very stable electron configuration and does not need to gain electrons, only when they gain energy.

Valence bond (VB) theory explains chemical bonding.

Helium atom is stable and does not form molecule.

You decided to prepare a phosphate buffer from solid sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH2PO4) and disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2H

KIM [24]

Answer:

For disodium hydrogen phosphate:

5.32g Na2HPO4

For sodium dihydrogen phosphate:

7.65g Na2HPO4

Explanation:

First, you have to put all the data from the problem that you going to use:

-NaH2PO4 (weak acid)

-Na2HPO4 (a weak base)

-Volume = 1L

-Buffer pH = 7.00

-Concentration of [NaH2PO4 + Na2HPO4] = 0.100 M

What we need to find the pKa of the weak acid, in this case NaH2PO4, for that you need to find the Ka (acid constant) of NaH2PO4, and for this we use the pKa of the phosphoric acid as follow:

H3PO4 = H2PO4 + H+ pKa1 = 2.14

H2PO4 = HPO4 + H+ pKa2 = 6.86

HPO4 = PO4 + H+ pKa3 = 12.4

So, for the preparation of buffer, you need to use the pKa that is near to the value of the pH that you want, so the choice will be:

pKa2= 6.86

Now we going to use the Henderson Hasselbalch equation for the pH of a buffer solution:

pH = pKa2 + log [(NaH2PO4)/(Na2HPO4)]

The solution of the problem is attached to this answer.

Marcus measured the masses and volumes of samples of four different substances, and he calculated their densities. The table sho

Zina [86]

<u>Given:</u>

Calculated density values-

Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3

Copper = 9.0 g/cm3

Iron = 7.9 g/cm3

Titanium = 4.8 g/cm3

Unknown sample mass = 9.5 g

Sample volume = 2.1 cm3

<u>To determine:</u>

The identity of the unknown sample

<u>Explanation:</u>

'Density' is a physical parameter which can be used to identify the nature of the unknown substance.

Density = Mass/Volume

For the unknown sample

Density = 9.5 g/2.1 cm3 = 4.52 g/cm3

This matches closely with the calculated density of titanium

Ans: The unknown substance is made of titanium

Explain how to draw the electron-dot diagram for oxygen.

AlexFokin [52]

The electron dot diagram for the oxygen atom shows six electrons around the symbol of the atom.

<h3>What is the electron dot diagram?</h3>

The electron dot diagram is the diagram of atoms of elements showing only the valence electrons present in the atom represented with dots.

The electron dot diagram for the oxygen atom is drawn as follows:

The number of valence electrons in oxygen atom is determined; valence electrons = 6
The symbol for the oxygen atom is written
The valence electrons are shown as dots around the symbol of the element.

In conclusion, the electron dot diagram uses dots around the symbol of an atom to show the valence electrons in the atom.

How much momentum does a 200 kg rhino have that is running at 35 m/s E

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

7000 kg*m/s E

Explanation:

Momentum formula: p=mv

m=200kg

v=35 m/s East

p=(200kg)(35m/s E)

m=7000 kg*m/s E

If you want to simplify it further, m=7*10^3 kg*m/s E
