Iron having Z=26 with electronic configuration as $[Ar]3d^64s^2$ has 6 electrons in the 3d shell wherein 5 electrons are aligned parallely and 1 electron as antiparallel.

$Fe^3^+$ having electronic configuration as $[Ag]3d^5$ has 5 electrons, all aligned in the same direction.

Iron, when kept in external magnetic field, the magnetic domains of the atom get aligned in one direction that means it becomes parallel and they remain parallel even after removing the magnetic field therefore, it is considered as ferromagnetic.

Certain compound contains 7.3% carbon, 4.5% hydrogen, 36.4% oxygen, and 31.8% nitrogen. It’s reality molecular mass is 176.0. Fi

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Data

carbon 7.3% = 7.3g

hydrogen 4.5% = 4.5g

oxygen 36.4% = 36.4 g

nitrogen 31.8% = 31.8 g

Now

For carbon

12 g --------------------1 mol

7.3 g ------------- x

x = 7.3/12 = 0.608 mol

For hydrogen

1 g -------------------- 1 mol

4.5 g ------------------ x

x = 4.5 mol

For oxygen

16 g ------------------- 1 mol

36.4 g ---------------- x

x = 2.28 mol

For nitrogen

14 g ---------------- 1 mol

31.8 g --------------- x

x = 2.27 mol

Now divide by the lowest result, the is 0.608 from carbon

carbon 0.608/0.608 = 1

hydrogen 4.5/ 0.608 = 7.4

oxygen 2.28/0.608 = 3.75

nitrogen 2.27/0.608 = 3.73

Empirical formula = CH₇O₄N₄

Answer:

Electrolysis of water is the process of using electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel, or remixed with the oxygen to create oxyhydrogen gas, which is used in welding and other applications.Ordinarily, the freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur. Under certain conditions, water may remain a liquid as cold as -40 to -42°

What titrant will be used to titrate the 0. 02 m hcl phenol red solution?

RideAnS [48]

The NaOH will be used What titrant to titrate the 0. 02 m hcl phenol red solution.

Acid-base titrations may be the most typical titrations, although there are numerous more forms as well. Take a look at this illustration where sodium hydroxide is used to titrate a sample of hydrochloric acid (HCl) (NaOH). The titrant (NaOH), which is added gradually throughout the duration of the titration, has been added to the unknown solution.

Titrants are solutions with known concentrations that are added to solutions whose concentrations must be determined. The solution for whom the concentration needs to be determined is known as a titrant as well as analyte.

Therefore, the NaOH will be used as a titrant to titrate the 0. 02 m hcl phenol red solution.
