Atomic number Bi = 83
electron configuration Bi : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p3
p orbitals = 3p6, 4p6, 5p6 and 6p3
so, 6 + 6 + 6 + 3 = 21 electrons
1.00mol is the correct answer
0.81 moles
Explanation:
cobalt chloride when dissolved in water dissociate into cobalt and chloride ions as shown;
CoCl₂ (s) → [Co²⁺](aq) + 2[Cl⁻] (aq)
The mole ratio between CoCl₂ and [Co²⁺] is 1 ; 1 while the mole ratio between CoCl₂ and [Cl⁻] is 1 : 2
Therefore; 0.27 moles of CoCl₂ will form;
(1 * 0.27) = 0.27 moles of [Co²⁺] ions
(2 * 0.27) = 0.54 moles of [Cl⁻] ions
Total moles of dissociated ions are;
0.27 + 0.54
= 0.81 moles
