Explanation:

Atomic number of copper is 29 and it is a d-block element.The electronic configuration of copper is as follows.

Electronic configuration of copper is [Ar]4s^1 3d^{10}

According to the Aufbau principle, in the ground state of an atom or ion the electrons fill atomic orbitals of the lowest energy levels first, before filling the higher energy levels.

But completely filled d-shell is more stable in nature. Hence, one electron from the 4s shell goes into the d-orbital so the copper atom can attain stability.

So, when a copper atom loses an electron then it goes out from the 4s shell first.

.400 moles of CO2 gas are confined in a 5.00-liter container at 25 °C. Calculate the pressure exerted in atmospheres and mm Hg.
solong [7]

The pressure exerted by 0.400 moles of carbon dioxide in a 5.00 Liter container at 25 °C would be 1.9563 atm or  1486.788 mm Hg.

<h3>The ideal gas law</h3>

According to the ideal gas law, the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is a constant.

This can be mathematically expressed as:

pv = nRT

Where:

p = pressure of the gas

v = volume

n = number of moles

R = Rydberg constant (0.08206 L•atm•mol-1K)

T = temperature.

In this case:

p is what we are looking for.

v = 5.00 L

n = 0.400 moles

T = 25 + 273

 = 298 K

Now, let's make p the subject of the formula of the equation.

p = nRT/v

  = 0.400 x 0.08206 x 298/5

  = 1.9563 atm

Recall that: 1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Thus:

1.9563 atm = 1.9563 x 760 mm Hg

                   = 1486.788 mm Hg

In other words, the pressure exerted by the gas in atm is 1.9563 atm and in mm HG is 1486.788 mm Hg.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the Haber-Bosch process, that is, the combination of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammo
RoseWind [281]
The balanced chemical equation for the Haber-Bosch process is N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g). The Haber-Bosch process played a significant role in boosting agriculture back in the day. It paved the way for the industrial production of ammonia which is used in the manufacture of fertilizers. The process involves reacting atmospheric N₂ with H₂ using a metal catalyst under high temperature and pressure.

Sugar must undergo a chemical change before it can be broken down into
tresset_1 [31]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. a compound

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A mixture is a substance that is made of two or more components that are not chemically combined. For example a mixture of water and paraffin.
  • A compound, on the other hand, is a pure substance that is made up of two or more atoms of different elements that are chemically joined together.
  • Unlike an element which can not be broken by chemical means into simpler components, a compound can be chemically broken down to smaller substances such as smaller compounds or individual elements.
  • Sugar is an example of a compound that is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Assuming that the forces between atoms that form molecules can be approximated by elastic restoring forces, count the number of
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

(a)  Three translational degrees of freedom, 2 rotational degrees. 5 total

Cv = 5/2 R;  Cp = 7/2 R

(b) and (c) 6 total degrees of freedom ( 3 translational, 3 rotational)

Cv = 3 R ; Cp = 4R

Explanation:

(a) O₂

Oxygen being a diatomic molecule has three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom since it can move in the three axis and can rotate around two.

(b) H₂O

This is a polyatomic molecule and it has three translational and three rotational degrees of freedom.

(c) Same as water it has three translational degrees of freedom and three rotational degrees of freedom

To calculate the heat capacities we have to make use of the equipartition theorem which tell us that for each degree of freedom imparts 1/2 R to the heat capacity at constant volume.

(a)

5 total degrees of freedom ⇒ Cv = 5/2 R

Cp ( heat capacity at constant pressure) is determined from the relation

Cp - Cv = R

Cp = 7/2 R for O2 molecule

(b) and (c)

Total degrees of freedom 6

Cv = 3 R

Cp = 4 R

Here we are ignoring any contribution of the vibrational modes to the contribution of the heat capacities
