Selenium falls in the same column with oxygen therefore it has the same number of valence electrons with oxygen which is 6. It fills the 3d orbital but only 4s and 4p are counted. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2.

Selenium falls in the same column with oxygen therefore it has the same number of valence electrons with oxygen which is 6. It fills the 3d orbital but only 4s and 4p are counted. The electronic configuration is [Ar]3d^10 4s^2

Explanation:

Selenium has 6 valence electrons, two of which are placed in the S orbital and 4 of which are placed in the P orbital. In its electron structure, it is quite comparable to oxygen.

At the first energy level, the only orbital accessible to electrons is the 1s orbital, but at the next level, as well as a 2s orbital, there are 2p orbitals. A p orbital is formed like 2 identical balloons tied commonly at the nucleus. The orbital shows where there is a 95% chance of getting a critical electron.

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Convert 11.03 moles of calcium nitrate to grams.

Given data:

Number of moles = 11.03 mol

Mass of calcium nitrate = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Now we will rearrange the formula because we have to calculate the mass.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of calcium nitrate =  164.088 g/mol

Mass = 11.03 mol ×  164.088 g/mol

Mass = 1809.89 g

2. How many molecules are contained in 103.4g of sulfuric acid?

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Given data:

Number of molecules = ?

Mass of sulfuric acid = 103.4 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 103.4 g/ 98.079 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.05 mol

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1.05 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules / 1mol

6.323 × 10²³ molecules of sulfuric acid

3. 3.25 x 1024 molecules of dinitrogen pentoxide would be how many moles?

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Given data:

Number of molecules of dinitrogen pentoxide = 3.25 × 10²⁴

Moles of dinitrogen pentoxide = ?

Solution:

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1 mol  × 3.25 × 10²⁴ molecules / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

5.4 moles

4. What would be the mass of 9.03 x 1021 molecules of hydrobromic acid?

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Given data:

Number of molecules of hydrobromic acid = 9.03 × 10²¹

Mass of hydrobromic acid = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the moles of hydrobromic acid.

1 mole =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1 mol  × 9.03 × 10²¹ molecules / 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

0.015  moles

Mass of hydrobromic acid:

Mass =  number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.015 mol × 80.9 g/mol

Mass =1.21 g

5. A sample of iron (III) chloride has a mass of 26.29g. How many moles would this be?

Given data:

Number of moles =?

Mass of iron(III) chloride = 26.29 g

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of iron chloride  =  162.2 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Moles = 26.29 g/ 162.2 g/mol

Moles = 0.16 g

Between HClO3 and HIO3, which is stronger and why? Question 16 options: 1) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is in a higher oxi
natima [27]

Answer:

2) HClO3 is stronger because chlorine is more electronegative than iodine.

Explanation:

The more electronegative the element is the more strong or acidic it becomes.

Chlorine being more electronegative than Iodine makes it easier for it to pull the electron of hydrogen more strongly and hence has a higher tendency to release a H+ unit. Hence that makes it stronger.
