<u>Answer:</u> 2.36\times 10^{15} metric tons of oxygen is present.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Mass of oxygen in atmosphere = 2.60\times 10^{15}\text{ short tons}

To convert it into metric tons, we use the conversion factors:

1\text{ short ton}=2000lb

And,

1\text{ metric ton}=2204.62lb

Converting short tons into pounds, we get:

\Rightarrow 2.60\times 10^{15}\text{ short tons}\times (\frac{2000lb}{\text{1 short ton}})=5.2\times 10^{18}lb

Now, converting the given mass in pounds to metric tons, we get:

\Rightarrow 5.2\times 10^{18}lb\times (\frac{\text{1 metric ton}}{2204.62lb})=2.36\times 10^{15}\text{metric ton}

Hence, 2.36\times 10^{15} metric tons of oxygen is present.

What is the value of the equilibrium constant at 25 oC for the reaction between the pair: I2(s) and Br-(aq) Give your answer usi
insens350 [35]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate standard electrode potential is as follows.

          E^{o}_{cell} = E^{0}_{cathode} - E^{0}_{anode}

                             = 0.535 - 1.065

                             = - 0.53 V

Also, it is known that relation between E^{o}_{cell} and K is as follows.

            E^{o}_{cell} = \frac{RT}{nF} \times ln K

                 ln K = \frac{nFE^{0}_{cell}}{RT}      

Substituting the given values into the above formula as follows.

                 ln K = \frac{nFE^{0}_{cell}}{RT}    

                        =  \frac{2 \times 96485 C mol^{-1} \times -0.53 V}{8.314 l atm/mol K \times 298 K} \times \frac{1 J}{1 V C}  

                ln K = -41.28

                    K = e^{-41.28}    

                        = 1 \times 10^{-18}

Thus, we can conclude that the value of the equilibrium constant for the given reaction is 1 \times 10^{-18}.

5. An element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel <br> contain electrons
Mumz [18]

Answer:

                    Transition Element

Explanation:

                     Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.

                      Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,

                                                   (n-1)d ¹⁻¹⁰ns ¹⁻²

The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,

Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.

Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel .
