The ground state electron configuration of aluminum is 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

The ground state electron configuration of lithium is  1s² 2s¹

The ground state electron configuration of phosphorous is  1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s² 3p³

The ground state electron configuration of scandium is  1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶3d¹ 4s²

In the ground state Al has 3 valence electrons, 2 electrons in the 3s orbital and 1 electron in the 3p orbital. The valence shell of Al is 3.

A. Use the following steps to balance the redox reaction below. Al(s) Ni2 (aq) Ni(s) Al3 (aq)
Alja [10]

Answer:

2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s)  

Explanation:

The unbalanced equation is

Al(s) + Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ Ni(s) + Al³⁺(aq)

(i) Half-reactions

Al(s) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻

Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni(s)

(ii) Balance charges

2 × [Al(s) ⟶ Al³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻]

3 × [Ni²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Ni(s)]

gives

2Al(s) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻

3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 3Ni(s)

(iii) Add equations

2Al(s) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 6e⁻

<u>3Ni²⁺(aq) + 6e⁻ ⟶ 3Ni(s)                                       </u>  

2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) + <em>6e</em>⁻ ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s) + <em>6e⁻ </em>

Simplify (cancel electrons)

2Al(s) +3Ni²⁺(aq) ⟶ 2Al³⁺(aq) + 3Ni(s)

What is the vapor pressure of the solution if 15.0 g of water is dissolved in 100.0 g of ethyl alcohol at 25 ∘C? The vapor press
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

44.2 mmHg

Explanation:

We have to apply the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure:

P° - P' = P° . Xm

where P' refers to vapor pressure of solution

P° refers to vapor pressure of pure solvent

Xm is the mole fraction of solute

Let's determine the mole fraction (moles of solute / Total moles)

Total moles = Moles of solute + Moles of solvent

Moles of solute → 15 g . 1 mol/18g = 0.833 moles

Moles of solvent → 100 g . 1mol / 46 g = 2.174 moles

Total moles = 0.833 + 2.174 = 3.007

Xm = 0.833 / 3.007 = 0.277

We replace data in the formula: 61.2 mmHg - P' = 61.2 mmHg . 0.277

P' = - (61.2 mmHg . 0.277 - 61.2 mmHg) → 44.2 mmHg
