You change the identity of the substance!

The subscript in a chemical formula is the number written next to the element at the bottom part. For example, the chemical formula of water is H₂O. The subscript of H is 2, while the subscript of O is 1. The subscript represents the number of a certain element in one particle of the compound. So, if you change the subscript, you also change the number of a certain element per compound. In other words, you change the ratio.

Find the molality of the solution if 42 grams of lithium chloride (LiCl) are dissolved in 3.6 kg of water.

omeli [17]

The molality is calculated using the following rule:
molality = number of moles of solute / kg of solvent

From the periodic table:
molar mass of lithium = 6.941 gm
molar mass of chlorine = 35.453 gm

molar mass of LiCl = 6.941 + 35.453 = 42.394 gm
number of moles found in 42 gm = mass / molar mass = 42 / 42.394 = 0.99

molality = 0.99 / 3.6 = 0.275 m

What is meant by the ground state of an atom? What is meant by the ground state of an atom? All of the quantum numbers have thei

ANTONII [103]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We know that ground state means in total electrons acquired by the element are present in their lowest energy level.

We calculate the azimutal numbers as follows.

n = l + 1

where, n = principle quantum number

l = azimuthal quantum number

Values of n can be 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Whereas the values of l can be 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Also, "m" is known as magnetic quantum number whose values can be equal to -l and +l.

So, when n = 1 then l = 0 and m = 0.

When n = 2 then l = 1 and values of m will be equal to -1, 0, +1. As it is given that the magnetic quantum number ml = -1. Hence, it is only possible when n = 2.

And, n = 1 is the lowest energy level. Therefore, we can conclude that the ground state of an atom means all of the quantum numbers have their lowest values (n = 1,ℓ = mℓ = 0).
