From which sublevel are electrons removed when a zn atom in the ground state is oxidized?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

4s2

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of zinc in the ground state of the atom is 1s22s22p6 3s23p63d104s2. It can be written in a condensed form by showing the inert gas core as follows; [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s².

Zinc has a pseudo inert gas configuration when the 4s electrons are removed during oxidation. Hence this sublevel is usually affected when zinc atoms are oxidized according to the scheme;

Zn---->Zn^2+ + 2e-

Explain how lines latitude and longitude help people find locations on earth.
Bad White [126]
Latitude and longitude are the x and y axis on a grid. When you're trying to find a location on earth, you need to graph it, so you can pinpoint the location. There is no grid if there is no longitude and/or latitude lines. Without one of the lines, it would be very hard to graph, which will be difficult in finding locations on earth. But hey, I'm not too sure. I recommend looking at other people's answers too and searching it up.

Why does one mole of carbon atoms have a smaller mass than one mole of sulfur atoms?
Ratling [72]
To determine this, you can look at the molecular weight of that particular atom which is found on the periodic table. Carbon has a molar mass of 12.01 grams / mole. Sulfur has a molar mass of 32.06 grams / mole. This means one mole of carbon weighs 12.01 grams and one mole of sulfur weighs 32.06 grams. Therefore, one mole of carbon atoms has a smaller mss than one mole of sulfur atoms.

2A + 3B -->C + D When 5 units of A and 6 units of B are allowed to react, the limiting reactant would be:
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The limiting reactant is B.

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2A + 3B —> C + D

The limiting reactant can be obtained as follow:

From the equation above,

2 units of A reacted with 3 units of B.

Therefore, 5 units of A will react with = (5 x 3) /2 = 7.5 units of B.

From the calculation made above, we can see that it will take a higher unit of B i.e 7.5 units than what was given i.e 6 units to react completely with 5 units of A.

Therefore, B is the limiting reactant and A is the excess reactant.
