The answer is lithium.

This is because it has an electron configuration of 1s2, 2s1 (also written as [He]2s1)

Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

PLEASE HELP!!! NEED TO PASS THIS TO THE FIRST SEMESTER!

Cloud [144]

Answer:

Reaction 1 is balanced but 2 is not balanced , the balance equation are :

1. $CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

2. $CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O(aq)$

Explanation:

Balanced Equations : These are the equation which follows the law of conservation of mass .

The total number of atoms present in reactant is equal to total number of atoms present in product.

1. $CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g) + H_{2}O(l) + CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

This is acid - base type reaction where

$CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ act as Acid

$NaHCO_{3}(aq)$ act as weak base

Reactant : $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ , $NaHCO_{3}$

Number of atoms of :

C = 2 ( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 2 + 1

= 3

H = 4( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 4 + 1

O = 2( $CH_{3}COOH(aq)$ ) + 3 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 5

Na = 1 ( $NaHCO_{3}$ )

= 1

Product : $CO_{2}(g)$ , $H_{2}O(l)$ , $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

Number of atoms :

C = 1( $CO_{2}(g)$ ) + 2( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

= 1 + 2

= 3

H = 2( $H_{2}O(l)$ ) + 3( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

= 2 + 3

= 5

O = 1( $H_{2}O(l)$ ) + 2( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$ )

+2( $CO_{2}(g)$

= 1 + 2 + 2

= 5

Na = 1( $CH_{3}COONa(aq)$

= 1

Number of Na =1 , C = 3 , H= 5 and O =5 in both reactant and product , so it is a balanced reaction

2. $CaCl_{2}(aq) + 2NaHCO_{3}(aq)\rightarrow CaCO_{3}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + 2NaCl(aq) + CO_{2}(g)$

This is double displacement reaction .

Check the balancing in both reactant and products should be :

Na = 2

H = 2

Ca = 1

C = 2

O = 6

Cl = 2

What molarity of nitric acid (HNO3) was used if 2.00 L must be used to prepare 4.5 L of a 0.25 M HNO3 solution?

Ymorist [56]

The molarity of (HNO₃) that was used if 2.00 L must be used to prepare 4.5 L of a 0.25M HNO₃ solution is 0.563 M

calculation

This is calculated usind M₁V₁=M₂V₂ formula

where,

M₁( molarity ₁) = ?

V₁( volume ₁) = 2.00 L

M₁ (molarity ₂) = 0.25M

V₂( volume₂) = 4.5 L

make M₁ the subject of the formula by diving both side of the formula by V₁

M₁ is therefore = M₂V₂/V₁

M₁ =[ (0.25 M x 4.5 L) / 2.00 L ] =0.563 M
