1 answer:

7 0

<>"The researchers stress that their approach does not offer a complete roadmap for sustainable development, but does provide an important element by identifying critical planetary boundaries. "Human pressure on the Earth system has reached a scale where abrupt global environmental change can no longer be excluded."<>

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: $Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+$

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

After the reaction between sodium borohydride and the ketone is complete, the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 t

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The hydrogen can be gotten from the added Acid or water during "workup".

Explanation:

Basically we can say that the reaction describe in this question is a Reduction reaction because of the chemical compound called sodium borohydride. In the reaction described above we can see that there is a Reduction of ketone to alcohol by the compound; sodium borohydride.

For the reduction Reaction to occur the C-O bond must break so as to enable the formation of O-H bond and C-H bond.

So, "the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 to produce the desired alcohol", thus, the oxygen will definitely pick up the hydrogen from H2SO4 or H2O.
