Answer:

The electronic configuration uses the principle of the K,L,M,N shells to arrange electrons in the shells of elements. The K shell which is the first shell can only accommodate two electrons while the rest shells can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons. Metals and nonmetals have atomic numbers which tells us the amount of electrons they contain in their neutral state.

For example the metal  Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11.The electronic configuration will be; 2,8,1 .

The non metal Chlorine has an atomic number of 17. The electron configuration will be 2,8,7

The valence shell refers to the last shell of an atom.

We can see from the electronic configurations that sodium has 1 electron in its valence shell, while chlorine has 7 electrons in its valence shell. Generally non-metals gain electrons because of the large number of electrons in their valence shell and metals lose electrons due to the fewer number of electrons in their valence shell

You work for a cutlery manufacturer who wants to electrolytically precipitate 0.500 g of silver onto each piece of a batch of 25
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

Explanation:

Mass of silver to be precipitated on ecah spoon = 0.500 g

Number of silver spoons = 250

Total mass of silver = 250 × 0.500 g = 125 g

Moles (n)=Molarity(M)\times Volume (L)

Moles of AgCN = n  = \frac{125 g}{134 g/mol}=0.9328 mol

Volume of AgCN solution =V

Molarity of the AgCN = 2.50 M

V=\frac{0.9328 mol}{2.50 M}=0.3731 L=373.1 mL

(1 L = 1000 mL)

373.1 mL of AgCN (aq) must be poured into your electrolysis vat to ensure you have sufficient Ag to plate all of the forks.

. How many grams of Na2SO4 are required to make 2700 mL of a 2.0 M solution?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the net ionic equation

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) ==> BaSO4(s) we see that 1 mole Ba2+ reacts with 1 mole SO42- to -> 1 mol BaSO4

Find moles of Ba2+ used: 0.250 moles/L x 0.0323 L = 0.008075 moles Ba2+

Find moles SO42- present: 0.008075 moles Ba2+ x 1 mol SO42-/1 mol Ba2+ = 0.008075 mol SO42-

Find mass of Na2SO4 present: 0.008075 mol SO42- x 1 mol Na2SO4/1 mol SO42- x 142.04 Na2SO4/mole = 1.14698 g = 1.15 g Na2SO4 (to 3 significant figures)
