The element that has four total electrons in its outer P orbitals is

Sulphur (s) (answer D)

Sulphur is in group 16 and period 3 in the periodic table therefore Sulphur is in atomic number 16.

Sulphur (S) electronic configuration is 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P4 or [Ne] 3S2 3P4 therefore the 3P4 subshell of sulphur has only 4 electrons.

A sample of a substance was determined and contained 1.0g of mg and 1.75g of o. what is the empirical formula? (10 pts)

Juliette [100K]

Total mass = 2.75g Mass % of Mg = 1.0g x 100/2.75g = 36.36 % Mass % of O = 1.75g x 100/2.75g = 63.64 % Mol of Mg = 36.36/24 = 1.515 Mol of O = 63.64/16 = 3.977 Ratio of Mol of Mg and O in the substance = (1.515 : 3.977) x 2 = 3 : 8 The empirical formula of substance is Mg3O8

Answer : The volume of $CO_2$ will be, 514.11 ml

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCO_3^-+HCl\rightarrow Cl^-+H_2O+CO_2$

First we have to calculate the mass of $HCO_3^-$ in tablet.

$\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-\text{ in tablet}=32.5\% \times 3.79g=\frac{32.5}{100}\times 3.79g=1.23175g$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $HCO_3^-$ .

Molar mass of $HCO_3^-$ = 1 + 12 + 3(16) = 61 g/mole

$\text{Moles of }HCO_3^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-}{\text{Molar mass of }HCO_3^-}=\frac{1.23175g}{61g/mole}=0.0202moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $CO_2$ .

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $HCO_3^-$ react to give 1 mole of $CO_2$

So, 0.0202 mole of $HCO_3^-$ react to give 0.0202 mole of $CO_2$

The moles of $CO_2$ = 0.0202 mole

Now we have to calculate the volume of $CO_2$ by using ideal gas equation.

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = $37^oC=273+37=310K$

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0202 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get :

$(1.00atm)\times V=0.0202 mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (310K)$

$V=0.51411L=514.11ml$

Therefore, the volume of $CO_2$ will be, 514.11 ml

Chemical reaction when chromium metal is immersed in an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride.

Marrrta [24]

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$

Explanation:

The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

Type of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

Chromium $(Cr)$

Cobaltous Chloride $(CoCl_2)$

Products formed in the reaction are -

Chromic Chloride $(CrCl_3)$

Cobalt $(Co)$

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

$Cr + CoCl_2$ → $CrCl_3 + Co$

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$
