Describe the spin of carbon-14's valence electrons and explain how you came about your answer.
Snezhnost [94]

we have to know the spin of valence electrons of carbon-14

There are four unpaired electron which are called as valence electron also.The spin of the four unpaired electron is either upfilled or down filled.

The ground state electronic configuration of C-atom is 1s²2s²2p² and one electron from 2s orbital gets excited to 2p orbital. The elctronic configuration in excited state is 1s²2s¹2p_{x}^{1} 2p_{y}^{1}2p_{z}^{1}.

The electron jumps because half-filled orbitals are more stable. Exchange energy is less than pairing energy.

Balance the following redox reaction if it occurs in acidic solution. What are the coefficients in front of h2c2o4 and h2o in th
shusha [124]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

The overall reaction, is:

MnO4⁻(aq) + H₂C₂O₄(aq) ---------> Mn²⁺(aq) + CO₂(g)

Balancing this redox reaction means that one compound is reducting while the other is oxidizing. So, we need to separate both compounds into 2 semi equations and balance both of them, per separate and then, we can join them.

As we want to balance in acid medium, means that we need to add water and H⁺ in both reactions. Doing that we have the following:

MnO₄⁻   ---------------> Mn²⁺

In this reaction, we can clearly see that it's not balanced. To balance this semi equation, let's see the elements. In the reactans we have Mn and O, but in the products we only have Mn, the atom of oxygen where could it be? As we are doing acid medium, if in the reactants we have oxygen, this oxygen can be as products in the form of water, so we add water there.

MnO₄⁻   ---------------> Mn²⁺ + H₂O

Now, the water has hydrogen atoms, and if we are in acid medium, the hydrogen can only come from the acid medium, and in this case H⁺ so:

H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ ----------> Mn²⁺ + H₂O

Now, it's time to balance the charges. First Mn²⁺ is the lowest oxidation state of the manganese, this means that in the reactants Mn is passing from a higher state to a lower state, therefore, this compouns is reducting. How many electrons? well, in this case, we know that oxygen usually have the oxidation state -2, so the manganese would be:

(-2 * 4) + x = -1

-8 + x = -1 -------> x = +7

Therefore, manganese passes from 7+ to 2+, it's gaining 5 electrons so:

H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻ ----------> Mn²⁺ + H₂O

Finally, we just balance the masses and charges:

8H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻----------> Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

Now, we just do the same thing with the other semi equation which is oxydizing. The explanation of that, is similar to this, so I'm gonna do it directly:

C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> CO₂

In this case, we can easily see that carbon is losing 2 electrons, so, let's put the 2 electrons on the product to balance the charges, and then, the masses:

C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> CO₂ + 2e⁻

C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> 2CO₂ + 2e⁻

Let's join both equations and do the sum of them:

8H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻----------> Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O

C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> 2CO₂ + 2e⁻

As we can see, we do not have the same electrons on both equations, we need to equal those values so:

2 * (8H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + 5e⁻----------> Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O)

5 * (C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> 2CO₂ + 2e⁻)

16H⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 10e⁻----------> 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

5C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> 10CO₂ + 10e⁻

Now, let's sum both equations:

16H⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 10e⁻----------> 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O

5C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> 10CO₂ + 10e⁻

___________________________________

16H⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 5C₂O₄²⁻ -----------> 2Mn²⁺ + 10CO₂ + 8H₂O

This would be the balanced reaction, however, let's put it as it was originally with the H2 in the C2O4 and balance it:

<h2>2MnO₄⁻ + 5H₂C₂O₄ + 6H⁺ -----------> 2Mn²⁺ + 10CO₂ + 8H₂O</h2>

How many electrons can be described by the following quantum numbers: n=2, 1=-1, m-1.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

The principal quantum number n; describes the energy level and here, it is 2.

The azimuthal or secondary quantum number l is given as 1, we are describing the p-orbital

The magnetic quantum number is -1, and we have 3 sub-orbitals here:

   It is a 2p-suborbital

So; in each sub orbital we have 2 electrons

The number of electrons that can be described here  =  2 x 3 = 6 electrons.

Determine the concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution that has a pH of 1.6.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is [H₃O⁺] = 0.025   [OH⁻] = 3.98 x 10⁻¹³

Explanation:

Data

[H⁺] = ?

[OH⁻] = ?

pH = 1.6

Process

Use the pH formula to calculate the [H₃O⁺], then calculate the pOH and with this value, calculate the [OH⁻].

pH formula

pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

-Substitution

1.6 = -log[H₃O⁺]

-Simplification

[H₃O⁺] = antilog (-1,6)

-Result

[H₃O⁺] = 0.025

-Calculate the pOH

pOH = 14 - pH

-Substitution

pOH = 14 - 1.6

-Result

pOH = 12.4

-Calculate the [OH⁻]

12.4 = -log[OH⁻]

-Simplification

[OH⁻] = antilog(-12.4)

-Result

[OH⁻] = 3.98 x 10⁻¹³
