Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Phosphorous is the element of group 15 and third period. The atomic number of chlorine is 15 and the symbol of the element is P.

The electronic configuration of the element phosphorus is:-

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3$

Thus, from the electronic configuration shown above,

In n = 2, the total number of electrons are 8 which are present in $2s^22p^6$

The prefix 'kilo-' means a thousand. So a kilo-gram is a thousand grams. 1 kilogram=1,000 grams How many kilograms is 1,008 gram

lesantik [10]

<u>Answer:</u> 1.0 kilograms.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One kilogram is equal to a thousand grams.

Supposing x to be the number of kilograms equal to one thousand and eight grams, we can write it as:

1 kg = 1000 grams

x kg = 1008 grams

To solve for x, we can simply divide 1008 grams by 1000 thousand grams to get the answer.

x = 1008 / 1000

x = 1.008

Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, it will become 1.0 kilograms.

A chemist mixes 75.0 g of an unknown substance at 96.5°C with 1,150 g of water at 25.0°C. If the final temperature of the system

AleksAgata [21]

To do this problem it is necessary to take into account that the heat given by the unknown substance is equal to the heat absorbed by the water, but considering the correct sign:

$-m\cdot c_e\cdot \Delta T = m_w\cdot c_e_w\cdot \Delta T_w$

Clearing the specific heat of the unknown substance:

$c_e = \frac{m_w\cdot c_e_w\cdot \Delta T_w}{m\cdot \Delta T} = -\frac{1\ 150\ g\cdot 4.184\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}\cdot (37.1 - 25.0)^\circ C}{75\ g\cdot (37.1 - 96.5)^\circ C}$

$c_e = -\frac{1\ 150\ g\cdot 4.184\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}\cdot 12.1^\circ C}{75\ g\cdot (-59.4)^\circ C} = \bf 13.07\frac{J}{g\cdot ^\circ C}$
