Answer:

Something made of pure iron is softer than steel because the atoms can slip over one another. If other atoms like carbon are added, they are different from iron atoms and stop the iron atoms from sliding apart so easily. This makes the metal stronger and harder.

Calculate the Equilibrium constant Kc at 25 C from the free - energy change for the following reaction . Zn(s) + 2Ag+(aq)&lt;---
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:  Kc=1.24*10^5^2

Explanation: For the given reaction:

Kc=\frac{[Zn^+^2]}{[Ag^+]^2}

Concentrations of the ions are not given so we need to think about another way to calculate Kc.

We can calculate the free energy change using the standard cell potential as:

\Delta G^0=-nFE^0_c_e_l_l

E^0_c_e_l_l can be calculated using standard reduction potentials.

Standard reduction potential for zinc is -0.76 V and for silver, it is +0.78 V.

E^0_c_e_l_l = E^0_c_a_t_h_o_d_e+E^0_a_n_o_d_e

Reduction takes place at anode and oxidation at cathode. As silver is reduced, it is cathode. Zinc is oxidized and so it is anode.

E^0_c_e_l_l  = 0.78 V - (-0.76 V)

E^0_c_e_l_l  = 0.78 V + 0.76 V

E^0_c_e_l_l  = 1.54 V

Value of n is two as two moles of electrons are transferred in the cell reaction F is Faraday constant and its value is 96485 C/mol of electron .

\Delta G^0=-(2*96485*1.54)

\Delta G^0 = -297173.8 J

Now we can calculate Kc using the formula:

\Delta G^0=-RTlnKc

T = 25+273 = 298 K

R = 8.314JK^-^1mol^-^1

--297173.8 = -(8.314*298)lnKc

297173.8 = 2477.572*lnKc

lnKc=\frac{297173.8}{2477.572}

lnKc = 119.946

Kc=e^1^1^9^.^9^4^6

Kc=1.24*10^5^2

list the four quantum numbers from LAST electron of each of the following elements in their ground state: sodium, nitrogen, oxyg
Rasek [7]

Explanation:

The four quantum  numbers gives the position of the orbital, its spatial orientation, the shape of the orbital and the spin of the an electron in the orbital.

The principal quantum number(n) gives the main energy level in which the orbital is located; n = 1,2,3,4....

Azimuthal or secondary quantum number (l) gives the shape of the orbitals an they take values l = 0,1,2,3.... and their names are s for 0, p for 1, d for 2 and f for 3.

Magnetic quantum number gives the spatial orientation or degeneracy of the orbitals in the subshell.

Spin quantum number gives the spinning of the electrons

Electronic configuration:

Na = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

   The last electron enters the 3s¹

           n = 3

            l = 0

           m = 0

            spin =+ or - \frac{1}{2}

N = 1s² 2s²  2p³

           last electron enters 2p³

              n = 2

              l = 1

               m = -1, 0, 1

               spin = + or - \frac{1}{2}

O = 1s² 2s² 2p²

    last electron enters  2p²

             n = 2

              l = 1

               m = -1, 0, 1

               spin = + or - \frac{1}{2}

Cl =1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

     last electron enters 3p⁵

               n = 3

              l = 1

               m = -1, 0, 1

               spin = + or - \frac{1}{2}

S = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

      last electron enters 3p⁴

               n = 3

              l = 1

               m = -1, 0, 1

               spin = + or - \frac{1}{2}
