About 6 × 109 g of gold is thought to be dissolved in the oceans of the world. If the total volume of the oceans is 1.5 × 1021 L

First, determine the number of moles of gold.

Number of moles  = \frac{given mass in g}{molar mass}

Given mass of gold  =6 \times 10^{9} g

Molar mass of gold  = 196.97 g/mol

Put the values,

Number of moles of gold  = \frac{6 \times 10^{9} g}{196.97 g/mol}

= 0.03046\times  10^{9} mole or 3.046\times  10^{7} moles

Now, molarity  = \frac{moles of solute}{volume of the solution in liters}

Put the values, volume of ocean  =1.5 \times 10^{21} L

Molarity = \frac{3.046\times 10^{7} moles}{1.5 \times 10^{21} L}

= 2.03\times 10^{-14} M

Thus, average molar concentration = 2.03\times 10^{-14} M

What does the number of valence electrons determine?
N76 [4]

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an element on the periodic table. Atoms want to be able to have a full outer shell and they can share or trade electrons in order to achieve this. Valence electrons are also super super important in chemical reactions. The number of valence electrons determines what group that specific atom or element is in on the periodic table. This affects the reactivity of the element.

What is the value of the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reaction?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The value of the activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is greater than that of a catalyzed reaction. As we know, a catalyst provides an alternative path for the reaction to happen at a faster rate. So, for a catalyzed reactio, activation energy is lesser than the original path.

1. option B

2. ground state Fe :  [Ar] 4s² 3d⁶

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Aufbau rule

<em>Electrons occupy orbitals of the lowest energy level</em>

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  

So the correct choice of answer is B.

Ground state is the state of electrons filling skins with the lowest energy levels.

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupy a higher energy level

The atomic number of Fe = 26, so electrons=26

Ground state configuration of Fe : [Ar] 4s² 3d⁶ or

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶
