<u>Answer:</u> The p-function of Zn^{2+} and NO_3^{-} ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

p-function is defined as the negative logarithm of any concentration.

We are given:

Millimolar concentration of zinc nitrate = 3.1 mM

Millimolar concentration of calcium nitrate = 4.2 mM

Converting this into molar concentration, we use the conversion factor:

1 M = 1000 mM

  • Concentration of zinc nitrate = 0.0031 M = 0.0031 mol/L

1 mole of zinc nitrate produces 1 mole of zinc ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of zinc ions = 0.0031 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in zinc nitrate, M_1=(2\times 0.0031)=0.0062M

  • Concentration of calcium nitrate = 0.0042 M = 0.0042 mol/L

1 mole of calcium nitrate produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of calcium ions = 0.0042 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in calcium nitrate, M_2=(2\times 0.0042)=0.0084M

To calculate the concentration of nitrate ions in the solution, we use the equation:

M=\frac{M_1V_1+M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M=\frac{(0.0062\times 1)+(0.0084\times 1)}{1+1}\\\\M=0.0073M

Calculating the p-function of zinc ions and nitrate ions in the solution:

  • <u>For zinc ions:</u>

\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log[Zn^{2+}]

\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0031)\\\\\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=2.51

  • <u>For nitrate ions:</u>

\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log[NO_3^{-}]

\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0073)\\\\\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=2.14

Hence, the p-function of Zn^{2+} and NO_3^{-} ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

Where would the electrons in the 3d sublevel be found? Possibly in any shell only in the n = 3 energy level in energy levels &gt
postnew [5]

Answer:

In the n = 3 energy level

Explanation:

There's is no further explanation for this.

All the electrons in an energy level are distribuited according to the period in the periodic table they are.

So, if we have an atom in period 1, like Hydrogen (H), that atom would only have 1 level energy (n = 1) and in that level, we only have the sub level 1s.

Electrons in the 3d sublevel, are found mostly in all the transition metals of period 3, and it can go from 1 to 10 electrons. To be with the 3d sub level it's neccesary that the energy level to be 3.

energy levels beyond that, like n = 4, we have electrons occupying the 3d sub level, so, primordly, the 3d is found only in energy level 3.

Hope this helps
