Answer: A boron atom has 2 electrons at the first energy level and 3 electrons at the second energy level.
Answer:
The atomic mass number is the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.
<span>Answer: 0.094%

1) Equilibrium chemical equation:
</span><span />
<span>Only the ionization of the formic acid is the important part.
</span><span />
<span>HCOOH(aq) ⇄ HCOO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
</span><span />
<span>2) Mass balance:
</span><span />
<span> HCOOH(aq) HCOO⁻(aq) H⁺(aq).
Start 0.311 0.189
Reaction - x +x +x
Final 0.311 - x 0.189 + x x
3) Acid constant equation:
</span><span />
<span>Ka = [HCOO-] [N+] / [HCOOH] = (0.189 + x) x / (0.311 -x)
</span><span />
<span>= (0.189 + x )x / (0.311 - x) = 0.000177
4) Solve the equation:
You can solve it exactly (it will lead to a quadratic equation so you can use the quadratiic formula). I suggest to use the fact that x is much much smaller than 0.189 and 0.311.
</span><span />
<span>With that approximation the equation to solve becomes:
</span><span>0.1890x / 0.311 = 0.000177, which leads to:</span>
<span /><span>
x = 0.000177 x 0.311 / 0.189 = 2.91 x 10⁻⁴ M
5) With that number, the percent of ionization (alfa) is:
</span><span />
<span>percent of ionization = (moles ionized / initial moles) x 100 =
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>percent ionization = (concentration of ions / initial concentration) x 100 =
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>percent ionization = (0.000291 / 0.311)x 100 = 0.0936% = 0.094%

Energy Levels of Electrons. As you may remember from chemistry, an atom consists of electrons orbiting around a nucleus. ... They are restricted to orbits with only certain energies. Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, but they can never have orbits with energies other than the allowed energy levels.
