Answer: $1s^22s^22p^63s^13p^2$ .

Explanation:

Electronic configuration is defined as the distribution of electrons in the energy levels around an atomic nucleus.

Atomic number helps in determining the electronic distribution of an atom. We write electronic configuration according to Aufbau's principle in which shells are arranged in increasing energy levels.

Aluminium (Al) is a p block element and its atomic number is 13.

Electronic configuration of aluminium is $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^1$ .

Excite state is achieved when the electron moves to a higher energy level.The 3s electron moves to 3p orbital so that it can form three bonds.

Thus Electronic configuration of aluminium in an excited state is $1s^22s^22p^63s^13p^2$ .

II. Ionic Equations

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Net ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

Soluble salts.
Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ . These three salts will exist as ions:

Each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion.
Each $\rm CaCl_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ion and two $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions (note the subscript in the formula $\rm CaCl_2\!$ .)
Each $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ions.

On the other hand, $\rm AgCl$ is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as only one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion. However, because the coefficient of $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\!$ in the original equation is two, $\!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ alone should correspond to two $\rm Ag^{+}\!$ ions and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}\!$ ions.

Do not rewrite the salt $\rm AgCl$ because it is insoluble.

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two units of $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ . Doing so will give:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Simplify the coefficients:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

How are distillation and reverse osmosis alike?

Andrei [34K]

I'm having trouble with this one. At the very least, they both purify water. If I'm not mistaken, distillation is part of the process of purifying water.
Really sorry, I hope I helped at least a little! If you have any other questions I might be able to answer better, let me know..

What is the percent composition of dinotrogen pentoxide? With work shown please

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

%N = 25.94%

%O = 74.06%

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of nitrogen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of N by the number of N atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(N): 2 × 14.01 g = 28.02 g

Step 2: Calculate the mass of oxygen in 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will multiply the molar mass of O by the number of O atoms in the formula of N₂O₅.

m(O): 5 × 16.00 g = 80.00 g

Step 3: Calculate the mass of 1 mole of N₂O₅

We will sum the masses of N and O.

m(N₂O₅) = m(N) + m(O) = 28.02 g + 80.00 g = 108.02 g

Step 4: Calculate the percent composition of N₂O₅

We will use the following expression.

%Element = m(Element)/m(Compound) × 100%

%N = m(N)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 28.02 g/108.02 g × 100% = 25.94%

%O = m(O)/m(N₂O₅) × 100% = 80.00 g/108.02 g × 100% = 74.06%
