the answer is d, cuz i just did it rn on my study island and i got it right :)
Answer:
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and does not change with location.
Explanation:
<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
False
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Bases have some of the following properties;
- They have a bitter taste
- They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers
- Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
- Strong bases may react violently with acids.
- Bases turn red litmus paper blue
<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
An acid
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
- It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
- All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.
First let's find out the oxidation number of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound.
The oxidation number of cation, K is +1. Hence, the total charge of the anion, [Fe(CN)₆] is -4. CN has charge has -1. There are 6 CN in anion. Let's assume the oxidation number of Fe is 'a'.
Sum of the oxidation numbers of each element = Charge of the compound
a + 6 x (-1) = -4
a -6 = -4
a = +2
Hence, oxidation number of Fe in [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ is +2.
Now Fe has the atomic number as 26. Hence, number of electrons in Fe at ground state is 26.
Electron configuration = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s² = [Ar] 3d⁶ 4s²
When making Fe²⁺, Fe releases 2 electrons. Hence, the number of electrons in Fe²⁺ is 26 - 2 = 24.
Hence, the electron configuration of Fe²⁺ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶
= [Ar] 3d⁶
Hence, the number of 3d electrons of Fe in K₄[Fe(CN)₆] compound is 6.
