Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.63 %</h3>

Explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual mass = 9.80 g

error = 9.80 - 9.64 = 0.16

We have

$p(\%) = \frac{0.16}{9.80} \times 100 \\ = 1.632653061...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Which of the following electron configurations gives the correct arrangement of the four valence electrons of the carbon atom in

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

D) $2s^12p^3$

Explanation:

Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

But in methane, $CH_4$ it forms 4 bonds. So, 1 electron each from 2s orbital jumps to the next orbital in the p subshell.

Thus, the configuration is:-

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, the valence electron configuration is:-

$2s^12p^3$

Which chemical is the reducing agent in the redox reaction below?

posledela

Option (a) is correct.

A reducing agent is the one which loses electrons to other substance.

Here, Zn has oxidation number 0 in the L.H.S of the equation, but on R.H.S its oxidation number is +2 i.e. it Zn has donated two of its electrons to $Fe^{2+}$ .

Hence, Zn is the reducing agent here.
