If Na was to form a 2 ion, from what orbital subshell would the second electron be lost?

Chemistry

3 0

Answer:

2p

Explanation:

Sodium has an atomic number of 11, thus, the neutral atom has 11 electrons. The electron configuration is:

Na: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

To gain stability, it loses an electron from its outer shell to form the cation Na⁺. Its electron configuration is:

Na⁺: 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

If it were to lose a second electron to form a Na²⁺ cation, the electron should be lost from the 2p orbital subshell and its electron configuration would be:

Na²⁺: 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

how many mL of a 3.5 M sodium hydroxide will be needed to neutralize 15mL of a 4.3 M hydrochloric acid solution?
kobusy [5.1K]
Step 1 : write a valanced equation..
NaOH + HCl 》NaCl + H2O

Step 2 : find the number of mole of HCl..
1000 ml ..contains 4.3 mole
15ml... (4.3÷1000)×15 =...

Stem 3 : use mole ratio....
HCl : NaOH
1 : 1
So mole is same as calculated above...

Step 4 :
3.5 mole of NaOH is in 1000ml
(4.3÷1000)×15 mole is in ....

A plant extract can be obtained with organic solvents such as acetone or ethyl alcohol, and is composed of plant pigments such a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

A plant extract is a mixture because it contains different substances: acetone or ethanol, chlorophylls A and B, carotene and xanthophylls.

It is homogeneous because it is a solution. There is only one phase: the liquid phase. You cannot see the pigments as separate phases.

You can separate the pigments by paper, thin layer, or column chromatography.

Many schools use paper chromatography, because paper is cheap.

As the mixture of pigments follows the solvent up the paper, they separate into different coloured bands according to their attractive forces to the cellulose in the paper.

The chlorophylls are strongly attracted to the paper, so they don't travel very far.

The nonpolar carotene molecules have little attraction to the polar cellulose, so they are carried along by the solvent front.

G. Amount of charge required to reduce
Nady [450]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{c) 4 F}}

Explanation:

1. Write the skeleton equation for the half-reaction

NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O

2. Balance all atoms other than H and O

2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O

3. Balance O by adding H₂O molecules to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

4. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

5. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.

2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O

The amount of charge required to reduce 2 mol of NO₃⁻ is 8 F

\text{The amount of charge required to reduce 1 mol of NO$_{3}^{-}$ is \boxed{\textbf{4 F}}}
