Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

Noble gases are located in group VIIIA of the periodic table, this means that they have 8 eight electrons in their outermost shell.

Due to this characteristic, they are stable and do not react with other elements.

a. 1s22s22p4    The outermost shell of this electron configuration has 6 electrons, then this element has 6 electrons not 8. This configuration is of an element of the group VIA.

b. [Ne]2s22p2  The outermost shell of this element has 4 electrons, so this is not the configuration of a noble gas.

c. [Ar] 3s1  This element only has one electron in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of an alkaline metal.

d. 1s22s22p6 This element has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, so this is the electron configuration of a noble gas.

What is the mass of 0.25 mol of sulfur atom
tatiyna

Answer:

8.0 g

Explanation:

To convert moles to grams, you need to use the molar mass.  The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06.  The molar mass is the atomic mass of the atom.

(0.25 mol) × (32.06 g/mol) = 8.015 g

Round for significant figures.

8.015 g ≈ 8.0 g

Calculate ΔH when 2 moles of ethanol (C2H5OH) reacts with excess oxygen according to the following thermochemical equation?C2H5O
klio [65]

Answer:

–2733.4 KJ

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ —> 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

ΔH = −1366.7 kJ

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of C₂H₅OH reacted to produce enthalpy change (ΔH) of −1366.7 kJ.

Finally, we shall determine the enthalpy change (ΔH) produced by the reaction of 2 moles of C₂H₅OH. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of C₂H₅OH reacted to produce enthalpy change (ΔH) of −1366.7 kJ.

Therefore, 2 moles of C₂H₅OH will react to produce enthalpy change (ΔH) of = 2 × −1366.7 = –2733.4 KJ.

Thus, enthalpy change (ΔH) obtained is –2733.4 KJ

Choose the aqueous solution with the highest vapor pressure. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should assum
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

They all have about the same vapor pressure.

Explanation:

The elevation of the vapor pressure is related to the elevation of the boiling point: for higher vapor pressure, the liquid will boils at a low temperature.

When a nonvolatile compound is added to the liquid, the boiling temperature increases, in an effect called ebullioscopy, and that difference of temperature can be calculated by:

ΔT = K*W*i

Where K is a constant for the liquid, W is the molality, and i is the van't Hoff factor, which depends on the dissociation of the compound.

i = dissociated particles/total particles

For the molecules compounds given, the ideal van't Hoff factor is 1.

The molality can be calculated by:

W = n1/m2

Where n1 is the number of moles of the solute and m2 is the mass of the solvent. In this case, all the solutes have the same number of moles for the same volume of the solution because they have the same concentration, so the change in temperature is the same for all of them.

Then, they all have about the same vapor pressure.
