The answer is (1) Ar. The electron configuration of calcium ion, Ca2+ is 2, 8, 8. The ground state of Ar atom also has electron configuration of 2, 8, 8. So the answer is (1).

atoms are made of 3 types of subatomic particles; electrons, protons and neutrons

atomic number is the number of protons. atomic number is characteristic for the element. In ground state atoms, the number of electrons and protons are the same.

the electronic configuration of Ca in the ground state is

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

when Ca loses its 2 valence electrons, it becomes positively charged and the electronic configuration becomes

Ca - 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

number of electrons in Ca²⁺ is 18

the atom in the ground state would have the same number of electrons and protons. Therefore number of protons are 18. then the atomic number of the element is 18

the atom having an atomic number of 18 is Ar.

the answer is 1) Ar

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final  moles of the gas is 14.2 × </em></u>10^{-4}<u><em> moles.</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume (V_{1}) = 230 ml

Final volume (V_{2}) = 860 ml

Initial moles (n_{1}) = 3.8 ×10^{-4} moles

To find:

Final moles (n_{2})

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation;

    P × V = n × R × T

where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of the moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So;

    V ∝ n

\frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} } = \frac{n_{1} }{n_{2} }

where,

(V_{1}) represents the initial volume of the gas

(V_{2}) represents the final volume of the gas

(n_{1}) represents the initial  moles of the gas

(n_{2}) represents the final moles of the gas

Substituting the above values;

   \frac{230}{860} = \frac{3.8 * 10^-4}{n_{2} }

  n_{2} = 14.2 × 10^{-4} moles

<u><em>Therefore the final  moles of the gas is 14.2 × </em></u>10^{-4}<u><em> moles.</em></u>

Some nitrogen for use in synthesizing ammonia is heated slowly, maintaining the external pressure close to the internal pressure

Answer: The work done for the given process is -2188.7 J

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of work done for an isothermal process is given by the equation:

W=-P\Delta V=-P(V_2-V_1)

W = amount of work done = ?

P = pressure = 50.0 atm

V_1 = initial volume = 542 L

V_2 = final volume = 974 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

W=-50.0atm\times (974-542)L=-21600L.atm

To convert this into joules, we use the conversion factor:

1L.atm=101.33J

So, -21600L.atm=-21600\times 101.33=-2188728J=-2188.7kJ

The negative sign indicates the system is doing work.

Hence, the work done for the given process is -2188.7 J
