Using noble gas notation write the electron configuration for the chromium(II) ion

1 answer:

6 0

Since chromium has 24 as its atomic number (which mean that it has 24 proton and 24 electron in neutral ground state), the electron configuration for the chromium would be :

1s^2 , 2s^2 , 2p^6 , 3s^2, 3p^6 , 3d^5 , 4s^1

A 4 kg rock is rolling 10 m/s find its kinetic energy

larisa [96]

The answer is 200 J

The kinetic energy (KE) is:
KE = 1/2 m * v²
m - mass of the object
v - velocity of the object

We have:
m = 4 kg
v = 10 m/s

KE = 1/2 * 4 kg * 10² m/s
KE = 200 J

Which human activity will most likely contribute to ozone layer destruction?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: The compounds containing CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are mainly responsible for ozone layer depletion as these compounds react with ozone in the presence of ultraviolet rays to form oxygen molecule and thus, destroying ozone.

Explanation: Human activities cause the emission of halogen source gases that contain chlorine and bromine atoms. These emissions into the atmosphere ultimately lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. The source gases that contain only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine are called chlo- rofluorocarbons usually abbreviated as CFCs.

18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ethanol is completely miscible due to presence of Hydrogen bonding.

Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to absence of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

Which overall chemical equation is obtained by combining these intermediate equations?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

The common substance among the product(s) of the first equation and among the reactant(s) in the second equation is H2O(g). We can eliminate that as an intermediate. The overall chemical equation will thus be:

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l),

which is the first answer choice.

In essence, all you’re doing here is swapping water vapor for liquid water.

If a sample of oxygen gas originally at from 171.4 K has its temperature increased to 288.4 K and

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.95 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature of gas = 171.4 K

Final temperature of gas = 288.4 K

Final volume = 1.6 L

Initial volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = V₂T₁ /T₂

V₂ = 1.6 L × 171.4 K / 288.4 k

V₂ = 274.24 L.K / 288.4 K

V₂ = 0.95 L
