Chemistry
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation :

Paramagnetic are those which has unpaired electrons and diamagnetic are those in which all electrons are paired.

(a) V³⁺

The electronic configuration is -  

[Ar]3d^1

The electrons in 3d orbital = 1 (Unpaired)

Thus, the ion is paramagnetic as the electrons are unpaired.

(b) Cd²⁺

The electronic configuration is -  

[Kr]4d^{10}

The electrons in 4d orbital = 10 (paired)

Thus, the ion is diamagnetic as the electrons are paired.

(c) Co³⁺

The electronic configuration is -  

[Ar]3d^6

The electrons in 3d orbital = 6 (Unpaired)

Thus, the ion is paramagnetic as the electrons are unpaired.

(d) Ag⁺

The electronic configuration is -  

[Kr]4d^{10}

The electrons in 4d orbital = 10 (paired)

Thus, the ion is diamagnetic as the electrons are paired.

What is the pH of a 1.9 M solution of HClO4?
Sliva [168]
The compound HClO4, when placed in water, will dissociate into the ions, H+ and ClO4-. Therefore, the 2.0 M solution will also form 2.0 M H+. The pH is calculated through the equation,
pH = -log[H+]
Substituting,
pH = -log[2] = -0.3
Thus, the pH of the solution is -0.3.

Aqueous hydrobromic acid hbr will react with solid sodium hydroxide naoh to produce aqueous sodium bromide nabr and liquid water
Natalka [10]
 Balanced equation is

HBr + NaOH ----> NaBr + H2O

Using molar masses

80.912 g HBr reacts with  39.997 g of Naoh to give 18.007 g water

so 1 gram of NaOH reacts with 2.023 g of HBR   
and 5.7 reacts with 11.531 g HBr so we have excess HBr in this reaction

Mass  of water produced  =    (5.7 * 18.007 / 39.997  =  2.6 g to 2 sig figs
