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-

Convert 7.1x10^25 molecules of water to moles

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

<h2>117.94 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

$n = \frac{N}{L} \\$

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

$n = \frac{7.1 \times {10}^{25} }{6.02 \times {10}^{23} } \\ = 117.940199...$

We have the final answer as

<h3>117.94 moles</h3>
