Consider the anion whose charge is 2- and whose electron configuration is identical to argon. what is the symbol for this anion

1 answer:

8 0

If the ion is negatively charged, anion, it means that it gains two electrons from its surroundings. The number of electrons of an argon (neutral atom) is 18. Two of the electrons in our anion is from the surrounding, so originally it only has 16 electrons.

In the periodic table, the 16th element is sulphur. The chemical symbol of sulphur is S. Thus, the anion is the negatively charged sulphur with chemical symbol of S2-.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Old and inefficient mining smokestacks contaminate the soils around abandoned mine sites.

Explanation:

A smokestack, is a very tall channel commonly used in many instances to release gases produced by combustion processes directly into the air. These high towers are aimed at dispersing the gaseous pollutants over a wider area thereby minimizing their impact.

Old and inefficient smokestack do not contaminate the soil since they are very high towers that discharge gases directly into the atmosphere. Hence they are not part of the sources of soil contamination in abandoned mines.

zimovet [89]

The generalized rate expression may be written as:
r = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ

We may determine the order with respect to B by observing the change in rate when the concentration of B is changed. This can be done by comparing the first two runs of the experiment, where the concentration of A is constant but the concentration of B is doubled. Upon doubling the concentration of B, we see that the rate also doubles. Therefore, the order with respect to concentration of B is 1.
The same can be done to determine the concentration with respect to A. The rate increases 4 times between the second and third trial in which the concentration of B is constant, but that of A is doubled. We find that the order with respect to is 2. The rate expression is:

r = k[A]²[B]
