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.

At 300.0 K and 0.987 atm pressure, what will be the volume of 2.30 mol of Ne?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

V = 57.39 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature, T = 300 K

Pressure, P = 0.987 atm

No. of moles of Ne, n = 2.30 mol

We need to find the volume of Ne. We know that, the ideal gas law is as follows :

PV = nRT

Where

P is pressure and R is gas constant

V=\dfrac{nRT}{P}\\\\V=\dfrac{2.3\times 0.0821\times 300}{0.987 }\\\\V=57.39\ L

So, the volume of the Ne is 57.39 L.

Are the atoms really "sharing" electrons? Explain.
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

yes, in certain cases

there are different types of bondings between atoms

and in some they lend electrons to make their atom stable this type of bonding is called ionic bonding

and in covalent bond the atoms share their electrons

There are 100.0 grams of each reactant available determine the limiting reactant in this equation
Romashka [77]
Since you have not included the chemical reaction I will explain you in detail.

1) To determine the limiting agent you need two things:

- the balanced chemical equation

- the amount of every reactant involved as per the chemical equation

2) The work is:

- state the mole ratios of all the reactants: these are the ratios of the coefficientes of the reactans in the balanced chemical equation.


- determine the number of moles of each reactant with this formula:

number of moles = (mass in grams) / (molar mass)

- set the proportion with the two ratios (theoretical moles and actual moles)


- compare which reactant is below than the stated by the theoretical ratio.

3) Example: determine the limiting agent in this reaction if there are 100 grams of each reactant:

i) Chemical equation: H₂ + O₂ → H₂O

ii) Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

iii) Theoretical mole ration of the reactants: 2 moles H₂ : 1 mol O₂

iv) Covert 100 g of H₂ into number of moles

n = 100g / 2g/mol = 50 mol of H₂

v) Convert 100 g of O₂ to moles: 

n = 100 g / 32 g/mol = 3.125 mol

vi) Actual ratio: 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

vii) Compare the two ratios:

2 mol H₂ / 1 mol O ₂ < 50 mol H₂ / 3.125 mol O₂

Conclusion: the actual ratio of H₂ to O₂ is greater than the theoretical ratio, meaning that the H₂ is in excess respect to the O₂. And that means that O₂ will be consumed completely while some H₂ will remain without react.

Therefore, the O₂ is the limiting reactant in this example.

How many protons are present in one copper(ii) ion?
AlladinOne [14]
Copper has 29 protons, when dealing with Cu^2+ all that means is it lost two electrons. so now the element has 29 protons and 27 electrons. Protons are positive and electrons are negative and neutrons are neutral. So say you had an element X^2- then you have gained two more electrons so the element has an overall negative charge. hope that helps
