<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
<em>-49 °C</em>
<h3><u>Explanation and solution;</u></h3>
- Considering the fact that, the specific heat capacity of aluminum is 0.903 J/g x C, and the heat of vaporization of water at 25 C is 44.0 KJ/mol.
Moles water = 0.48 g / 18.02 g/mol
=0.0266 moles
<em>Heat lost by water</em> = 0.0266 mol x 44.0 kJ/mol
=1.17 kJ => 1170 J
<em>But heat lost =heat gained</em>
<em>Therefore;</em> Heat gained by aluminium = 1170 J
1170 = 55 x 0.903 ( T - 25) = 49.7 T - 1242
1170 + 1242 = 49.7 T
T = 48.5 °C ( 49 °C <em>at two significant figures)</em>
<em>Hence</em>, final temperature = 49 °C
First let's find out the oxidation number of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound.
The oxidation number of cation, K is +1. Hence, the total charge of the anion, [Fe(CN)₆] is -4. CN has charge has -1. There are 6 CN in anion. Let's assume the oxidation number of Fe is 'a'.
Sum of the oxidation numbers of each element = Charge of the compound
a + 6 x (-1) = -4
a -6 = -4
a = +2
Hence, oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ is +2.
Now Fe has the atomic number as 26. Hence, number of electrons in Fe at ground state is 26.
Electron configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s² = [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s²
When making Fe²⁺, Fe releases 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons in Fe²⁺ is 26 - 2 = 24.
Hence, the electron configuration of Fe²⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶
= [Ar] 3d⁶
Hence, the number of 3d electrons of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound is 6.
The title of Scientist was formally bestowed upon Sir Isaac Newton when he was
awarded the Merit Badge in Science at the age of 15, and he remained a Scientist
until he died, at the age of 84, on March 20, 1727, for a total duration of 69 years.
Yes, He was a productive scientist.He is one of the most important contributors to our understanding of how the universe works.
