Tju [1.3M]
An atom of Oxygen. Contains:

Protons = 8
Electrons = 8

Neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons = 18 - 8 = 10

Neutrons = 10.

You need to make 10.0 L of 1.2 M KNO3. What molar ( concentration) would the potassium nitrate solution need to be if you were t
solniwko [45]

Answer:

2.5L [NaCl] concentrate needs to be 4.8 Molar solution before dilution to prep 10L of 1.2M KNO₃ solution.

Explanation:

Generally, moles of solute in solution before dilution must equal moles of solute after dilution.

By definition Molarity = moles solute/volume of solution in Liters

=> moles solute = Molarity x Volume (L)

Apply moles before dilution = moles after dilution ...

=> (Molarity X Volume)before dilution = (Molarity X Volume)after dilution

=> (M)(2.5L)before = (1.2M)(10.0L)after

=> Molarity of 2.5L concentrate = (1.2M)(10.0L)/(2.5L) = 4.8 Molar concentrate

What is the correct answer ?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Element with 6s subshell

Explanation:

Reactivity of an element depends on the electronic configuration and position of element in the periodic table as reactivity increases as we go down the periodic table.

This is so because number of shell increases as move down the periodic table and the last electron is further away from the nucleus.

Element with 6s subshell is the largest among 3s and 4s subshell and has more number of shells so it will react more than 3s and 4s subshell.

Hence, the correct answer is "Element with 6s subshell".
