What is the electron configuration of an electrically neutral atom of magnesium?

1 answer:

3 0

The electron configuration of an atom can be determined by identifying first the right order of the electron shells. The atomic number of Magnesium is 12 so we expect the electrons also sum up to 12. The condensed electron configuration is Ne 3s2. The complete configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2.

A sample of Neon is in a sealed container held under isothermic conditions. The initial pressure and volume are 2.7 atm and 4.5

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The final volume in mL is 7.14 mL or 7.1 mL.

Explanation:

1.Use Boyle's Law( $P_{1} V_{1}= P_{2} V_{2}$ ). Re-arrange to solve for $V_{2}$ for the final volume.

2. Plug in values. $V_{2} =\frac{(2.7 atm)(4.5 mL)}{(1.7 atm)} = 7.14 mL$

Please help! If a forensic chemist discovers evidence through examination which would prove a person guilty of a crime, why then

Bogdan [553]

Explanation: You cannot be convicted of a crime without evidence. You cannot be convicted of a state crime. You cannot be convicted of a federal crime. If there is no evidence against you, under the law, it simply is not possible for the prosecutor's office to obtain a conviction at trial. So, when you do have evidence it is really impossible to not get convicted unless the judge truly believes your side of the story and declares you not guilty.

I hope this helped :) If not i'm sorry!

What is the half-life of an isotope that decays to 6.25% of its original activity in 18.9 hours?

inessss [21]

Radioactive material obeys 1st order decay kinetics,
For 1st order reaction, we have
k = $\frac{2.303}{t}Xlog \frac{\text{initial conc.}}{\text{final conc.}}$
where, k = rate constant of reaction

Given: Initial conc. 100, Final conc. = 6.25, t = 18.9 hours

∴ k = $\frac{2.303}{18.9} X log \frac{100}{6.25}$ = 0.1467 hours^(-1)

Now, for 1st order reactions: half life = $\frac{0.693}{k} = \frac{0.693}{0.1467}$ = 4.723 hours.
