<u>The number of electrons that must be lost by atoms of each given to achieve a stable electron configuration are as follows: </u>

  • Li has to lose 1 electron
  • Ca has to lose 2 electrons
  • Ga has to lose 13 electrons
  • Cs has to lose 1 electron
  • Ba has to lose 2 electrons.

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that the elements in the last group or we can stay the noble gases have the most stable electron configuration. So if any other element has to attain stable electron configuration, either they have to loose electrons to attain the electronic configuration similar to its closest noble gas element or they have to attain extra electron to reach the electronic configuration of its nearest noble gas element.

In this case, the question is stated to determine the number of electrons lost by the atoms to reach its stable electron configuration. Thus, the outermost shell electrons or the valence state electrons can be lost by the element to attain the electronic configuration of its nearest noble gas element.

So, the elements given in the question need to lose the electrons such that the electronic configuration of the element after losing of electrons will be equal to the electronic configuration of noble elements. This attainment of noble gas configuration by the elements will be achieving the stable electron configuration.

If a system performs 147 kJ of work while receiving 47 kJ of heat, what is change in its internal energy?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

-100 kJ

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

\Delta U = Q-W

where:

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of a system

Q is the heat absorbed/released by the system (it is positive if absorbed by the system, negative if released by the system)

W is the work done by the system (it is positive if done by the system, negative if done on the system)

For the system in this problem we have:

W = +147 kJ is the work done by the system

Q = +47 kJ is the heat absorbed by the system

So , its change in internal energy is:

\Delta U = +47 - (+147) =-100 kJ

If a molecule has an empirical formula of C2H2O and a molecular mass of 84.0 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?
lord [1]

Answer:

=C₄H₄O₂

Explanation:

Given the empirical formula of a molecule, the he the quotient of the molecular mas and and the empirical mass=constant.

84.0 g/mol/mass of(C₂H₂O)=constant

=84/(12×2+1×2×16)

=84/42

=2

Therefore, the molecular formula is (C₂H₂O)₂=C₄H₄O₂

If 2.9g of water is heated from 23.9C to 98.9C, how much heat (in calories) was added to the water?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that

ΔH=m C ΔT

where ΔH is the change in enthalpy (j)

m is the mass of the given substance which is water in this case

ΔT IS the change in temperature and c is the specific heat constant  

we know that given mass=2.9 g

ΔT=T2-T1 =98.9 °C-23.9°C=75°C

specific heat constant for water is 4.18 j/g°C

therefore ΔH=2.9 g*4.18 j/g°C*75°C

ΔH=909.15 j

Which statement is true? Nuclear power plants require more fuel than conventional power plants. There is a short supply of high
Bas_tet [7]
I believe the correct answer would be option 4. The only statement that is true would be that it is difficult to responsibly dispose of nuclear waste products. This is because nuclear waste products are radioactive and are very harmful to the society and to the environment. It could cause serious damage to every being in contact to it.

How much water would need to be added to 1092 mL of a 54.7 M NaCl solution to make a 0.25 M solution?
babunello [35]

Answer:

237.8L of water would need to be added.

Explanation:

The first thing to do is to identify that the equation to be used is M1V1=M2V2. (This equation works because it turns everything into moles which can then be compared).

Then figure out what information you have and what is being found. In this case:

M1 = 54.7 M

V1 = 1092 mL = 1.092 L

M2 = 0.25 M

V2 = unknown

Then solve the equation for whatever you are trying to find.

M1V1=M2V2

V2=M1V1/M2

Now you need to plug everything in.

V2=(54.7M*1.091L)/0.25M

V2=238.93L

That means that the solution needs a volume of 238.7L to gain a molarity of 0.25M but the starting solution already had a volume of 1.092 L meaning that to find the amount of solvent that needs to be added you just subtract the starting volume by the volume that the solution needs to be.

238.93L - 1.091L = 237.8L

Therefore the answer is that 237.8L needs to be added to a 1.092L 54.7M NaCl solution to make the concentration 0.25M.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
