Gas particles spread as far apart as possible though can be contained in a container and needs enough pressure to be compressed

Diethyl ether, since 20 is closer to 34.6 it should start boiling faster than the other which is no where near it

What is the mass of 0.714 moles of Mercury (I) Chloride (Hg2Cl2)?

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Data:

m (Sample Mass) = ?
n (Number of moles) = 0.714 mol
MM (Molar Mass) of Mercury (I) Chloride ( $Hg_{2} Cl_{2}$ )
Hg = 2*200.59 = 401.18 amu
Cl = 2*35.453 = 70.906 amu
----------------------------------------
Molar Mass $Hg_{2} Cl_{2}$ = 401.18 + 70.906 = 472.086 ≈ 472.09 amu or 472.09 g/mol

Formula:

$n = \frac{m}{MM}$

Solving:

$n = \frac{m}{MM}$
$0.714 = \frac{m}{472.09}$
$m = 337.07226\:\to\:\boxed{\boxed{m\approx 337 g}} \end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Answer:
By approximation would be letter D) 337.2 g

What is the answer to this ?

dybincka [34]

Answer:
D

Explanation:
Because the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, we know what the number of protons has to be 26. The mass number, 55, is the same as the number of protons plus neutrons. Lastly, because there is no charge on this atom, the number of electrons would have to be the same as the number of protons, which is 26.

Identify the group of elements that corresponds to each of the following generalized electron configurations and indicate the nu

Alja [10]

Answer:

(a) [Noble gas] ns² np⁵: Number of unpaired electron is 1 and belongs to group 17 i.e. halogen group of the periodic table.

(b) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d²: Number of unpaired electron is 2 and belongs to group 4 of the periodic table.

(c) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d¹⁰ np¹: Number of unpaired electron is 1 and belongs to group 13 of the periodic table.

(d)[noble gas] ns² (n-2)f⁶ : Number of unpaired electron is 6 and belongs to group 8 of the periodic table.

Explanation:

In the Periodic table, the chemical elements are arranged in 7 rows, called periods and 18 columns, called groups. They are organized in increasing order of atomic numbers.

(a) [Noble gas] ns² np⁵

As the total number of electrons in the p-orbital is 5. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 1.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 5 electrons in np orbital. So there are 7 valence electrons.

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 17 i.e. halogen group of the periodic table.

(b) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d²

As the total number of electrons in the d-orbital is 2. Therefore, the number of unpaired electrons is 2.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 2 electrons in (n-1)d orbital. So there are 4 valence electrons.

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 4 of the periodic table.

(c) [noble gas] ns² (n-1)d¹⁰ np¹

As the total number of electrons in the p-orbital is 1. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 1.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 1 electron in np orbital. So there are 3 valence electrons.

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 13 of the periodic table.

(d)[noble gas] ns² (n-2)f⁶

As the total number of electrons in the f-orbital is 6. Therefore, the number of unpaired electron is 6.

This element has 2 electrons in ns orbital and 6 electrons in (n-2)f orbital. So there are 8 valence electrons.

Therefore, this element belongs to the group 8 of the periodic table.
