The best explanation would be A. The reason the balloon is inflated is because its filled with gas, and the gas particles collide with the interior of the balloon to give it its shape.

Give the ground-state electron configuration for silicon (SiSi) using noble-gas shorthand. Express your answer in condensed form
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Silicon atoms have 14 electrons. The ground state electron configuration of ground state gaseous neutral silicon is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p².

Using noble gas shorthand, the electronic configuration is reduced to;

[Ne] 3s² 3p². Ne s the nearest noble gas to silicon, Ne contains 8 electrons, this means there's still 4 more electrons to fill. The s orrbital can only hold 2, hence the reaing two is transferred to the p orbital.

If the mass percentage composition of a compound is 72.1% Mn and 27.9% O, its empirical formula is
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

MnO- Manganese Oxide

Explanation:

Empirical formula: This is the formula that shows the ratio of elements

present in a  

compound.

   

How to determine Empirical formula

1. First arrange the symbols of the elements present in the compound

alphabetically to  determine the real empirical formula. Although, there

are exceptions to this rule, E.g H2So4

2. Divide the percentage composition by the mass number.

3. Then divide through by the smallest number.

4. The resulting answer is the ratio attached to the elements present in

a compound.

           

                                                                              Mn                         O    

                         

% composition                                                      72.1                      27.9    

                       

Divide by mass number                                       54.94                     16  

                                 

                                                                               1.31                      1.74    

                       

Divide by the smallest number                         1.31                      1.31                          

                                                                               1                    1.3

                                                 

The resulting ratio is 1:1

 

Hence the Empirical formula is MnO, Manganese oxide

A solution is prepared from 4.5701 g of magnesium chloride and 43.238 g of water. The vapor pressure of water above this solutio
balandron [24]

Answer:

i = 2.483

Explanation:

The vapour pressure lowering formula is:

Pₐ = Xₐ×P⁰ₐ <em>(1)</em>

For electrolytes:

Pₐ = nH₂O / (nH₂O + inMgCl₂)×P⁰ₐ

Where:

Pₐ is vapor pressure of solution (<em>0.3624atm</em>), nH₂O are moles of water, nMgCl₂ are moles of MgCl₂, i is Van't Hoff Factor, Xₐ is mole fraction of solvent and P⁰ₐ is pressure of pure solvent (<em>0.3804atm</em>)

4.5701g of MgCl₂ are:

4.5701g ₓ (1mol / 95.211g) = 0.048000 moles

43.238g of water are:

43.238g ₓ (1mol / 18.015g) = 2.400 moles

Replacing in (1):

0.3624atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)×0.3804atm

0.3624atm / 0.3804atm = 2,4mol / (2.4mol + i*0.048mol)

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.4mol / 0.9527

2.4mol + i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol

i*0.048mol = 2.5192mol - 2.4mol

i = 0.1192mol / 0.048mol

<em>i = 2.483</em>

<em />

I hope it helps!

A 0.590 gram sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to:M(s) +H2SO4(aq) --&gt; MSO4(aq) +H2(g)A vol
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal
