6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

You need to remember that to measure the number of unparied electrons in an atom you need to undestard its electron configuration, and the electron configuration of phosphorus is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3, just the last state "3p3" have unpaired electron, and because a p state can fits 6 electrons, and here are only 3, that means that those 3 are unpaired.

A student wants to make a 0.150 M aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate but only has 11.27 g of AgNO3. What volume of the 0.150

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

442.3 mL

Explanation:

Remember that Molarity is a measure of concentration in Chemistry and it's defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by liters of the solution:

$M=\frac{Moles of substance X}{Volume of the solution}$

Then, you can express 11.27 g of AgNO3 as moles of AgNO3 using the molar mass of the compound:

$11.27 g AgNO_{3} *\frac{1 mole AgNO_{3}}{169.87 g AgNO_{3}} = 0.06634 moles AgNO_{3}$

Then you can solve for the volume of the solution:

$Volume of the solution=\frac{Moles of AgNO_{3}}{M} =\frac{0.06634 mol AgNO_{3}}{0.150 M} =0.4423 L = 442.3 mL$

Hope it helps!
