These are three questions and three complete answers

Answer:

a) Cr²⁺: [Ar] 4s² 3d²

b) Cu²⁺: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁷

c) Co³⁺: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁴

Explanation:

<u>a) Cr²⁺</u>

  • Z = 24
  • Number of protons: 24
  • Number of elecrons of the neutral atom: 24
  • Charge of the ions: + 2
  • Number of electrons of the ion: 24 - charge = 24 - 2 = 22.
  • Electron configuration:

       Fill the orbitals in increasing order of energy. Using Aufbau's rules the order is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ .....

       Hence, for 22 electrons you get:

       1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d²

  • Abbreviated notation: since the last complete level is the number 3s² 3p⁶, you use the noble gas of the period 3, which is Ar, and the configuration is:

       

        [Ar] 4s² 3d²

<u>b) Cu²⁺</u>

  • Z = 29
  • Number of protons: 29
  • Number of elecrons of the neutral atom: 29
  • Charge of the ion: + 2
  • Number of electrons of the ion: 29 - charge = 29 - 2 = 27.
  • Electron configuration:

       Fill the orbitals in increasing order of energy. Using Aufbau's rules the order is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ .....

       Hence, for 27 electrons you get:

       1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁷

  • Abbreviated notation: since the last complete level is the number 3s² 3p⁶, you use the noble gas of the period 3, which is Ar, and the configuration is:

       

        [Ar] 4s² 3d⁷

<u>c) Co³⁺</u>

  • Z = 27
  • Number of protons: 27
  • Number of elecrons of the neutral atom: 27
  • Charge of the ion: + 3
  • Number of electrons of the ion: 27 - charge = 27 - 3 = 24.
  • Electron configuration:

       Fill the orbitals in increasing order of energy. Using Aufbau's rules the order is: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ .....

       Hence, for 24 electrons you get:

       1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d⁴

  • Abbreviated notation: since the last complete level is the number 3s² 3p⁶, you use the noble gas of the period 3, which is Ar, and the configuration is:

       

        [Ar] 4s² 3d⁴

What is the mass (grams) of salt in 10.0 m' of ocean water? ball park-4x10's (1.000 molsalt -58.44 g salt, 1.0 L ocean water -0.
koban [17]

Answer:

3.5 × 10⁵ g of salt

Explanation:

<em>What is the mass (grams) of salt in 10.0 m³ of ocean water?</em>

We have this data:

  • 1.000 mol salt is equal to 58.44 g salt
  • 1.0 L of ocean water contains 0.60 mol of salt

We will need the following relations:

  • 1 L = 1dm³
  • 1 m³ = 10³ dm³

We can use proportions:

10.0m^{3} .\frac{10^{3}dm^{3}  }{1m^{3} } .\frac{1L}{1dm^{3} } .\frac{0.60molSalt}{1.0L} .\frac{58.44gSalt}{1molSalt} =3.5 \times 10^{5} gSalt
