Answer:

Option B= neon

Explanation:

The given electronic configuration is of neon. Neon is noble gas with atomic number 10. The noble gases configurations are used for abbreviated electronic configuration

For example, the atomic number of neon is ten and sodium is eleven. The abbreviated electronic configuration of sodium is written by using the neon abbreviation in following way:

The electronic configuration of neon is given below:

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

The abbreviated electronic configuration of sodium:

Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize H2SO4 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?

Bogdan [553]

The second option only.

LiOH, Li₂SO₄.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A base neutralizes an acid when the two reacts to produce water and a salt.

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is the acid here. There are more than one classes of bases that can neutralize H₂SO₄. Among the options, there are:

Metal hydroxides

Ca(OH)₂ and
LiOH.

Metal hydroxides react with sulfuric acid to produce water and the sulfate salt of the metal.

$\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_{\bf 2}+\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \textbf{Ca}\textbf{SO}_{\bf 4} +{\bf 2}\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula for calcium sulfate $\text{CaSO}_4$ in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ is -2. Unlike $\text{Li}^{+}$ ions, it takes only one $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ ion to balance the charge on each ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ion. As a result, $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.

$2\;\text{LiOH} +\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

Ammonia, NH₃

Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:

$\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \to \textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}$ .

The ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:

$2\;\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}+ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to (\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4})_2\text{SO}_4+2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the fourth option spelled the ammonium ion incorrectly.

As part of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄, the ammonium ion NH₄⁺ is one of the products of this reaction and can't neutralize H₂SO₄ any further.

a strip of impure copper is given to you. how will you purify it by using chemical effects of electric current ?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

This can be done through electrolysis. Electrolysis is the separation of a substance into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance by passing an electric current through a solution that contains ions.

In the case of copper, we use a copper (II) sulphate solution which we put in a large beaker. The impure copper will be used as the positive electrode (anode) and for the negative electrode (cathode) will be a bar of pure copper.

When the electric current is switched on, the bar of pure copper which is the cathode increases greatly in size as copper ions leave the anode of impure copper and attach to the cathode. The anode becomes smaller and smaller as it loses copper ions until all that is left of it is impurities in form of a sludge beneath it.

What is a chemical formula, and what does it tell you?

katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

chemical formula tells you the specific elements included in the compound and the number of atoms of each. The letters in a chemical formula are the symbols for the specific elements. So for example, H means hydrogen.
