Answer:
The white powder is not sugar, so Christy's hypothesis is incorrect . Christy's next step should be to identify substances that have the measured molecular mass.
Explanation:
Answer:
To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.
Explanation:
The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.
The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.
Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.
From the periodic table:
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of CH2Cl2 = 12 + 2(1) + 2(35.5) = 85 grams
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles of CH2Cl2 = 66.05 / 85 = 0.777 moles
One mole of CH2Cl2 contains two moles of Cl and each chlorine mole has Avogadro's number of atoms in it.
Therefore,
number of chlorine atoms in 0.777 moles of CH2Cl2 can be calculated as follows:
number of atoms = 0.777 * 2 * 6.022 * 10^23 = 9.358 * 10^23 atoms
Now, we will take log base 10 for this number:
log (9.358 * 10^23) = 23.97119
Answer: 1.4x10-3 g N2O4
Explanation: First convert molecules of N2O4 to moles using Avogadro's Number. Then convert moles to mass using the molar mass of N2O4.
9.2x10^18 molecules N2O4 x 1 mole N2O4 / 6.022x10²³ molecules N2O4
= 1.53x10-5 moles N2O4
1.53x10-5 moles N2O4 x 92 g N2O4/ 1 mole N2O4
= 1.4x10-3 g N2O4
