Write the dissociation equation for, and give the proper concentrations for a 0.25M K2SO4 solution
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: K_2SO_4\rightarrow 2K^++SO_4^{2-}

concentration of K^+  = 0.50 M

concentration of  SO_4^{2-} = 0.25 M

Explanation:

The dissociation equation of K_2SO_4 is:

K_2SO_4\rightarrow 2K^++SO_4^{2-}

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of K_2SO_4 gives 2 moles of K^+

Thus 0.25 moles of K_2SO_4 gives =\frac{2}{1}\times 0.25=0.50 moles of K^+

Similarly,

1 mole of K_2SO_4 gives = 1 mole of SO_4^{2-}

Thus 0.25 moles of K_2SO_4 gives =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.25=0.25 moles of SO_4^{2-}

Thus the concentration of K^+ and SO_4^{2-} are 0.50 M and 0.25 M respectively.

Two moles of propene (c3h6) gas react with nine moles of oxygen (o2) gas to produce six moles of carbon dioxide gas (co2) and si
dalvyx [7]
The stoichiometry of the reaction gives the molar ratio in which the reactants react with each other and the ratio in which products are formed.
The coefficients of the reactants in the reaction follow the stoichiometry 
the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows;
2C₃H₆(g) + 9O₂(g)  ---> 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)

What are the four sets of quantum numbers for nickel?
nlexa [21]

The quantum numbers for the last valence electron in nickel are (3, 2, 0, -½).

The electron configuration of nickel is [Ar]4s²3d⁸

The last electron added is a 3d electron, so <em>n</em> = 3 and <em>l</em> = 2.

We construct a table of quantum numbers.

<u>Element </u><em><u>n</u></em><u>  </u><em><u>l</u></em><u>   </u><em><u>m</u></em><u>ₗ mₛ  </u>

    Sc      3 2   2 +½  

    Ti       3 2   1 +½  

    V       3 2   0 +½  

    Cr     3 2   -1 +½  

    Mn    3 2  -2 +½  

    Fe     3 2   2  -½  

    Co    3 2    1  -½  

    Ni     3 2   0  -½  

The quantum numbers for the last electron in nickel are (3, 2, 0, -½).
