Answer:

9 p-electrons

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a reactive chemical element that belongs to the group 15 and period 3 of the periodic table. It is a p-block element having atomic number 15.

The <u>electronic configuration of phosphorus in the ground state </u>is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p³.

Since, <u>6 electrons are present in the 2p subshell and 3 electrons are present in the 3p subshell.</u>

<u>Therefore, there are total </u><u>9 p-electrons</u><u> in a phosphorus atom present in its ground state.</u>

Predict the precipitate produced by mixing an Al(NO3)3 solution with a NaOH solution. Write the net ionic equation for the react
weqwewe [10]
Al(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(s) --> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3NaNO3 (aq)

The precipitate here is Al(OH)3 (s), since the solid reactant is the precipitate in the aqueous solution. Usually, it is okay to assume in basic chemistry that the transition metal is going to be part of the compound that is the precipitate, especially in an acidic salt and a strong base reaction that we have here.

I need help with number 8 please help ASAP.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

33.33% = 33%

Explanation:

MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2

We need to get the number of mole of CO2:

and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass

Moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole

Moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole

Mass of Mg = moles * molar mass

= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g

Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100

=33.33 %
