Chemistry
1 answer:
Tanya [424]4 years ago
6 0
<span>A mid-ocean ridge is a mountain rage under the water. It is formed due to plate tectonics. The shifting of the plates lifts up the floor of the ocean. When convection currents happen they raise the mantle that is located beneath the oceans crust and it creates magma where the two tectonic plates meet.</span>

If 4.50 g of (nh4)2so4 is dissolved in enough water to form 250. ml of solution, what is the molarity of the solution?
natima [27]
The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of a substance in one liter of that substance. 
The molar mass of ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4 is 132.14 grams/mole
Calculate the moles of ammonium sulfate:
(4.50 grams)/(132.14 grams/mole) = 0.0341 moles of ammonium sulfate
convert mL to Liters 250. mL becomes 0.250 liters
Take the number of moles over the number of liters
0.0341 moles / 0.250 liters = 0.136 molar or 0.136M = molarity of the solution

Which rule for assigning oxidation numbers is correct?
LenKa [72]
Hydrogen is usually –1. This is INCORRECT. The oxidation number for H is +1.
Oxygen is usually –2. This is CORRECT.
A pure group 1 element is +1. This is INCORRECT. It does not follow. This will depend on the other elements and the overall charge.
A monatomic ion is 0. This is INCORRECT. Diatomic ion is 0.

How many core electrons are in a ground state atom of selenium?
Harman [31]
Electrons in an atom can be classified as core electrons and valence electrons. Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in valence shell and participates in bond formation. While, Core electrons are all remaining electrons which are not present in valence shell, hence not take part in bonding.

Atomic number of Selenium (Se) is 34 hence it has 34 electrons with following electronic configuration;

                          1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁴

From electronic configuration it is found that the valence shell is 4, and the number of electrons present in valence shell are 6. So, 

             Core Electrons  =  Total Electrons - Valence Electrons

             Core Electrons  =  34 - 6

             Core Electrons  =  28

Result:
          There are 28 core electrons in Selenium.
