First, we need to determine the half reaction of magnesium. It would be expressed as:
Mg2+ + 2e- = Mg
Given the mass of magnesium metal that is produced, we calculate the total charge of the electrolysis by the relations we can get from the half reaction. We do as follows:
4.50 kg Mg ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) ( 1 mol / 24.305 g ) ( 2 mol e- / 1 mol Mg ) ( 96500 C / 1 mol e- ) = 35733388.2 C
We are given the applied EMF in units of V. This value is equal to J/C. So, 5 V is equal to 5 J/C.
35733388.2 C (5 J/C) = 178666941 J
178666941 J ( 1 kW-h / 3.6x10^6 J ) = 49.63 kW-h
Answer:
(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴
(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
(c) sp³
(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
Explanation:
<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>
<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>
S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.
<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>
Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>
SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.
<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>
No valence orbital remains unhybridized.
Your question is incomplete. However, I found a similar problem fromanother website as shown in the attached picture.
To solve this problem, you must know that at STP, the volume for any gas is 22.4 L/mol. So,
Moles O₂: 156.8 mL * 1 L/1000 mL* 1 mol/22.4 L = 0.007 moles
Mass calcium: 0.007 mol O₂ * 2 mol Ca/1 mol O₂ * 40 g/mol Ca =
<em> 0.56 g Ca</em>
Answer: It is a molecular compound. (2) It contains a metal. (3) It can conduct electricity as a solid.

16.6 mg
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the rate constant (k) for Iodine-131 decay
We know the half-life is t1/2 = 8.04 day. We can calculate the rate constant using the following expression.
k = ln2 / t1/2 = ln2 / 8.04 day = 0.0862 day⁻¹
Step 2: Calculate the mass of iodine after 8.52 days
Iodine-131 decays following first-order kinetics. Given the initial mass (I₀ = 34.7 mg) and the time elapsed (t = 8.52 day), we can calculate the mass of iodine-131 using the following expression.
ln I = ln I₀ - k × t
ln I = ln 34.7 - 0.0862 day⁻¹ × 8.52 day
I = 16.6 mg
