Answer: The electronic configuration of gallium is written below and number of valence electrons is 3.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom.

We are given:

An element Gallium having atomic number as 31.

Number of electrons = 31

Electronic configuration of Gallium is: $(Z=31):1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^1$

This element has 3 electrons in its outermost shell. So, the number of valence electrons is 3

Hence, the electronic configuration of gallium is written below and number of valence electrons is 3.

Give the oxidation number of the element indicated for each compound.

NARA [144]

Answer:

a. C: +3 ; b. N: +5 ; c. S:+6 ; d. C: +4; e. Mn: +7 ; f. Cr: +6.

Explanation:

Global charges in molecules is 0

You sum all the oxidation states to determine the oxidation state for the compound.

Na₂C₂O₄ → Sodium oxalate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for C: +3

HNO₃ → Nitric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for N: +5

H₂SO₄ → Sulfuric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for S: +6

HCO₃⁻ → Bicarbonate → Global charge: -1, this is an anion

Oxidation state for C: +4

KMnO₄ → Potassium permanganate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for Mn: +7

Cr₂O₇⁻ → Anion dichromate → Global charge: -2

Oxidation state for Cr: +6

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni

Svetllana [295]

Answer: The pH of acid solution is 4.58

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For KOH:

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol$

For propanoic acid:

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol$

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O$

Initial: 0.1372 0.04514

Final: 0.09206 - 0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

$[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}$

$[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58$

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!?!

labwork [276]

Answer:

Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?

Explanation:

Due to the tartaric acid present in these substances, this is a weak acid and is the predominant type of acid in grapes.

pH meters for these substances, measure the total acidity of the sample and convert it into tartaric acid concentration; The test strips are a qualitative method of measurement and their result can give different opinions.
