Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.
This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.
However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
Balanced chemical reaction:
MgSO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + SrSO₄(s).
Ionic reaction:
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) + Sr²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + SrSO₄(s).
Net ionic reaction:
Sr²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → SrSO₄(s).
Magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), strontium nitrate (Sr(NO₃)₂ and magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO₃)₂) are soluble in water. Strontium sulfate (SrSO₄) is not soluble in water.
This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.
Hello!
To find the number of moles that are in the given amount, we need to divide the total number of atoms by Avogadro's number, which is 1 mole is equal to 6.02 x 10^23 atoms.
5.0 x 10^25 / 6.02 x 10^23 ≈ 83.0564
Therefore, there are about 83.06 moles of iron (sigfig: 83 moles).
