Answer:

The atomic number of Selenium is 34. This means that Selenium possesses 34 electrons.

The atomic number of Aluminium is 13. This means that Aluminium has 13 electrons.

Hence, there is a difference of 21 between the number of electrons in an atom of selenium and the number of electrons in an atom of aluminium.

Selenium has 6 electrons in it's outer most shell whereas aluminium has 3 electrons in its outer most shell. As a result, aluminium will have a greater tendency to lose one of its outer most electrons to become stable.

The solubility of nitrogen gas at 25 ◦C and 1 atm is 6.8×10−4 mol/L. If the partial pressure of nitrogen gas in air is 0.76 atm,

Answer:

Concentration of dissolved nitrogen = 5.2 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L

Explanation:

More the pressure of the gas, more will be its solubility.

So, for two different pressure, the relation between them is shown below as:-

$\frac {P_1}{C_1}=\frac {P_2}{C_2}$

Given ,

P₁ = 1 atm

P₂ = 0.76 atm

C₁ = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L

C₂ = ?

Using above equation as:

$\frac{1\ atm}{6.8\times 10^{-4}\ mol/L}=\frac{0.76\ atm}{C_2}$

$C_2=\frac{0.76\times 6.8\times 10^{-4}}{1}\ mol/L$

<u>Concentration of dissolved nitrogen = 5.2 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L</u>

You believe you have cracked a secret code that uses elemental symbols to spell words. The code uses numbers to designate the el

Stells [14]

Explanation:

Atomic numbers for neutral atoms are the same as the number of electrons. The number of electrons are used in writing the subshell notation where we can see the highest princpal quantum number(n).

In order to solve this problem, a good knowledge of the periodic table and shell notation is required.

For example;

Given a number 5;

We know the number is made of both the atomic number of the element and the highest quantum number.

It is easier for us to know the highest quantum number from the shell notation:

shell notation 1s²2s²2p¹

highest principal quantum number is 2

We are left with atomic number 5-2, which is 3

The element is therefore Li.

Part A. 5, 30, 58, 56, 99, 79, 19, 98, 9

Which direction will the following reaction (in a 5.0 L flask) proceed if the pressure of CO_2(g) is 1.0 atm? CaCO_3(s) rightarr

storchak [24]

Answer:

d. To the left because Q > K_p

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:

$CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)$

The pressure-based equilibrium expression is:

$Kp=p_{CO_2}$

In such a way, since Kp is given we rather compute the reaction quotient at the specificed pressure of carbon dioxide as shown below:

$Q=p_{CO2}=1.0$

Therefore, since Q>Kp we can see that there are more products than reactants, which means that the reaction must shift leftwards towards the reactants in order to reestablish equilibrium, thus, answer is d. To the left because Q > Kp.

Regards.
