This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Determine whether each of the following electron configurations is an inert gas, a halogen, an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or a transition metal. Justify your choices.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

Answer :

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5   → Halogen

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2    → Transition metal

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6   → Transition metal

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1   → Transition metal

Explanation :

Inert gas : These are the gases which lie in group 18.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^6 where n is the outermost shell.

Halogen : These are the elements which lie in group 17.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2np^5 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkali metal : These are the elements which lie in group 1.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^1 where n is the outermost shell.

An alkaline earth metal : These are the elements which lie in group 2.

Their general electronic configuration is: ns^2 where n is the outermost shell.

Transition elements : They are the elements which lie between 's' and 'p' block elements. These are the elements which lie in group 3 to 12. The valence electrons of these elements enter d-orbital.

Their general electronic configuration is: (n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2} where n is the outermost shell.

(a) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the halogen family.

(b) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^74s^2

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(c) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

(d) 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^4s^1

The element having this electronic configuration belongs to the transition family.

A 50.0 g sample of liquid water at 25.0 degree C is mixed with 29.0 g of water at 45 degree C. The final temperature of the wate
kotegsom [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of water is 32.3°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When two solutions are mixed, the amount of heat released by solution 1 (liquid water) will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by solution 2 (liquid water)

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of solution 1 (liquid water) = 50.0 g

m_2 = mass of solution 2 (liquid water) = 29.0 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of solution 1 = 25°C  = [273 + 25] = 298 K

T_2 = initial temperature of solution 2 = 45°C  = [273 + 45] = 318 K

c = specific heat of water= 4.18 J/g.K

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

50.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-298)=-[29.0\times 4.18\times (T_{final}-318)]\\\\T_{final}=305.3K

Converting this into degree Celsius, we use the conversion factor:

T(K)=T(^oC)+273

305.3=T(^oC)+273\\T(^oC)=(305.3-273)=32.3^oC

Hence, the final temperature of water is 32.3°C

A given mass of air has a volume of 8.00 L at 60.0°C. At constant pressure, the temperature is increased to 80.0°C. Calculate th
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

D. 6.00 L

Explanation:

What we have here is an example of Boyle's Law. The equation here is P₁ · V₁ = P₂ · V₂. We know all of the values except for V₂.

60(8) = 80V

<em>Multiply 60 by 8 to get 480.</em>

480 = 80V

<em>Divide both sides by 80.</em>

480/80 = V

6 = V

The final volume for the gas is 6.00 L.

Calculate the hydroxide ion concentration [OH-] for a solution with a pH of 6.10
nalin [4]

There are different formula you need to keep in mind when solving for [OH-]

Given that pH = 6.10

pH + pOH = 14

6.10 + pOH = 14

pOH = 7.9

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH)

[OH-] = 10^(-7.9)

[OH-] = 0.000000013

[OH-] = 1.3 x 10^-8


<h2><u>Answer: [OH-] = 1.3 x 10^-8</u></h2>
