Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell
This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.
Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:
<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc. </em>
S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶
Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵
K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶
Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴
Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶
Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶
K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹
Think of it this way,
Mix Iron and sulphur in a bowl. How do you separate them? Use a magnet right. Yes.
Now, mix the iron and sulphur together but know, heat them up. Let them cool for a while. After that, use a magnet to separate. You cant. This is because the compound (FeS) now has a different property from its original components.
Apply this theory onto salts.
Initial concentration of magnesium nitrate M1 = 2.13 M
Initial volume of magnesium nitrate, MgNO3 V1 = 1.24 L
Final concentration of MgNO3, M2 = 1.60 M
Let the final volume of MgNO3 upon dilution be V2
Formula to use:
M1*V1 = M2*V2
V2 = M1*V1/M2
= 2.13 M * 1.24 L/1.60 M = 1.65 L
Thus, the final volume of magnesium nitrate solution upon dilution is 1.65 L
Dichloromethane/ethanol solvent mixtures are substances composed of compounds that has a very high volatility. The higher the volatility of the substances, the faster it is for them to vaporized.
If we leave the solution or the mixture uncovered then, it is easier for the vapors produced to escape the system to the atmosphere.
