Refer to the periodic table tool and write the electron configurations of the following elements in both long and short terms

Chemistry

Answer:-

Carbon

[He] 2s2 2p2

1s2 2s2 2p2.

potassium

[Ar] 4s1.

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

Explanation:-

For writing the short form of the electronic configuration we look for the nearest noble gas with atomic number less than the element in question. We subtract the atomic number of that noble gas from the atomic number of the element in question.

The extra electrons we then assign normally starting with using the row after the noble gas ends. We write the name of that noble gas in [brackets] and then write the electronic configuration.

For carbon with Z = 6 the nearest noble gas is Helium. It has the atomic number 2. Subtracting 6 – 2 we get 4 electrons. Helium lies in 1st row. Starting with 2, we get 2s2 2p2.

So the short term electronic configuration is [He] 2s2 2p2

Similarly, for potassium with Z = 19 the nearest noble gas is Argon. It has the atomic number 18. Subtracting 19-18 we get 1 electron. Argon lies in 3rd row. Starting with 4, we get 4s1.

So the short electronic configuration is [Ar] 4s1.

For long term electronic configuration we must write the electronic configuration of the noble gas as well.

So for Carbon it is 1s2 2s2 2p2.

For potassium it is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

What are the two most common elements in the entire universe
g100num [7]

Answer: Hydrogen and Helium

Explanation: Hydrogen is made from from one proton and one electron, making them one of the simplest forms of elements in the universe. Combining hydrogen atoms creates helium, the second most common element in the Universe.

instrucions classify the following reactions as synthesis, decomposition,single replacement, double replacement, or combustion.
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

There are no specific equations but here what i can give you:

1. Synthesis -- A synthesis reaction is a chemical change in which two or more substances react to form a single new substance.

In all synthesis reactions, there is a single product that is a compound!

2. Decomposition -- A decomposition reaction is a chemical change in which a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. (This is the opposite of synthesis reactions!)

Most decomposition reactions require energy in the form of heat, light, and electricity.

3. Single Replacement -- A single-replacement reaction is a chemical change in which one element replaces a second element in a compound. You can identify a single-replacement reaction by noting that both the reactants and the products consist of an element and a compound.

4. Double Replacement -- A double-replacement reaction is a chemical change involving an exchange of positive ions between two compounds.

For a double replacement reactions to occur, one of the following is usually true:

- One of the products is only slightly soluble and precipitates from solutions.

- One of the products is a gas.

- One product is a molecular compound such as water.

5. Combustion -- A combustion reactions is a chemical change in which an element or a compound reacts with oxygen, often producing energy in the form of heat or light.

A combustion reactant always involves oxygen as a reactant. (If the supply of oxygen is limited, then the combustion will not be complete.)

The other reactant is a hydrocarbon, which is a compound composed of hydrogen and carbon and the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces CO2 and H2O.

Hydrocarbons include methane, propane, and butane.

I really hope this helps you!

Calculate the mass of water vapour present in a room of volume 400 m3 that contains air at 27 °C on a day when the relative humi
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Mass of water = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

Explanation:

Relative humidity = (actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure) * 100%

Actual vapor pressure, Pw = relative humidity * saturation vapor pressure

Pw = 60% * (35.6 *0.001)atm = 0.0216atm

Note: 1mbar = 0.001atm

Using the ideal gas equation: PV=nRT; where P = Pw= 0.02136atm, V= (400

* 1000)dm^3, R= 0.082 atmdm^3/kmol, T= (27+273)K, n = number of moles

Note: 1m^3 = 1000dm^3,R is the molar gas constant.

Making n subject of the formula, n = PV/RT

n= (0.02136 * 400000)/(0.082 * 300) = 347.317 moles

Mass (g) = number of moles (n) * molar mass

molar mass of water=18g

Mass of water = 347.317 * 18 = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg
