Why is it Xe????????????????
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

Ba is element 56. Its electron configuration is

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶ 5s²4d¹⁰5p⁶ 6s²

That's a lot of writing.

To lessen the work, chemists have developed the noble gas notation.

The core electrons of Ba (listed in boldface) have the same electron configuration as Xe, the noble gas found two atoms earlier in the Periodic Table.

Chemists replace the core electron configuration with the symbol of the corresponding noble gas.

The noble gas notation for Ba becomes

Ba: [Xe]6s².

A chemist prepares a solution of mercury(I) chloride Hg2Cl2 by measuring out
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1.26 × 10^-8 M

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of moles of mercury (i) chloride as 0.000126 μmol

Volume is 100 mL

We are required to calculate the concentration of the solution.

We need to know that;

Concentration is also known as molarity is given by;

Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume

Number of moles = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles

Volume = 0.01 L

Therefore;

Concentration = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles ÷ 0.01 L

                       = 1.26 × 10^-8 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.26 × 10^-8 M

How many milliliters of sterile water for injection should be added to a vial containing 5 mg/mL of a drug to prepare a solution
jonny [76]

Answer:

7mL of sterile water is the initial amount of the concentrated solution is 3mL

Explanation:

In this problem, the vial must be <em>diluted </em>from 5mg/mL to 1.5mg/mL, that means the solution must be diluted:

5mg/mL / 1.5mg/mL = 3.33 times

If the initial amount of the drug in the vial is 3mL, the final volume must be:

10mL

That means the volume of water that should be added is:

10mL - 3mL:

<h3>7mL of sterile water is the initial amount of the concentrated solution is 3mL</h3>

Potassium chlorate (kclo3) decomposes in a reaction described by this chemical equation:2kclo3(s) → 2kcl(s) + 3o2(g)if 36.0 gram
cricket20 [7]
<span>If 36 gm of potassium chlorate enter into the reaction, the total mass of the two products will still be 36 gm because if there is only one reactant, the mass of the compounds after the reaction will be same that reactant based on the law of conservation of matter.</span>
