Answer : The type of reaction described in the sentence is Synthesis or Combination

Explanation :

The balanced equation for the reaction between Phosphorous and Oxygen gas can be written as

4P (s) + 5O_{2} (g) ------>  P_{4} O_{10}  (s)

From the above equation we can see that there are two different reactants ( P and O₂ ) which are combining with each other to give a single product.

This type of reaction is known as Combination or Synthesis.

A general form of Synthesis reaction is given below.

A + B ---->  AB

Here we can conclude that a synthesis / combination reaction is the one where 2 or more reactants combine together to give only one product .

A 0.133 pg sample of iron-59 produces 242 β-particles per second. what is the half-life of this isotope (in hours)
34kurt
1070 hours.  
1 mole of iron-59 would mass 59 grams, so 0.133 picograms would be 0.133x10^-12 / 59 = 2.25x10^-15 moles of iron-59. Multiplying by Avogadro's number, we can determine the number of atoms of iron-59 we have, so: 2.25x10^-15 * 6.02214x10^23 = 1.35x10^9 
 Since we have 242 decays over a period of 1 second, we can divide the
number of atoms left by the original number of atoms
 (1350000000 - 242)/1350000000
 = 1349999758/1350000000
 = 0.999999820740741 
 And calculate the logarithm to base 2 of that quotient.
 ln(0.999999820740741)/ln(2)
 = -1.79259275281191x10^-7/0.693147180559945
 = -2.58616467481524x10^-7 
 The reciprocal of this number will be the half life in seconds. So
 -1/2.58616467481524x10^-7
 = -3866729.79388461 
 And dividing by 3600 (number of seconds in an hour) will give the half-life in
hours.
 -3866729.79388461 / 3600 = -1074.091609 
 So the half life in hours to 3 significant figures is 1070 hours.
 Dividing that figure by 24 gives a half life of 44.58 days which is in pretty close agreement to the official half-life of 44.495 days for iron-59.

Write the electronic configuration of Cr^2+ (z=24) and predict the number of electrons having n+1 value equal to 3
leonid [27]

Answer:

(a) Cr²⁺: 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 3d⁴; (b) eight  

Explanation:

(a) Electron configuration of Cr

(i). Locate chromium in the Periodic Table.

It's Element 24, so  in Period 4, Group 3.

(ii). Write its electron configuration

Remember that Cr is one of those exceptions to the Aufbau principle.

Instead of the predicted electron configuration of [Ar] 4s²3d⁴, we get the configuration [Ar] 4s3d⁵.

The reason is that this this configuration minimizes electron repulsion.

(b) Write the electron configuration for Cr²⁺.

Now, we must remove two electrons from a chromium atom.

The electron in the 4s orbital is removed first, because this orbital is further from the nucleus, making electrons easier to remove.

So, we remove the 4s electron, and  then a 3d electron.

The electron configuration of Cr²⁺ is

[Ar]3d⁴ or 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 3d⁴

(c). Electrons with n + l = 3

The orbitals with n + l = 3 are those covered by the third arrow down in the order of orbital energies:

2p (n = 2, l = 1) and 3s (n = 3, l = 0)

The 2p orbitals can hold six electrons, and the 3s orbital can hold two.

Both subshells are filled in a Cr²⁺ ion, so there are eight electrons

with n+ l = 3.

What evidence suggests that four-legged animals came from fish?
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Paleontologists have uncovered new fossils from Tiktaalik roseae, which, while still a fish, is considered a transitional fossil that also has traits common to the first four-footed animals. This more complete picture of Tiktaalik suggests that the creature had strong, mobile hind fins.
