we have to know the spin of valence electrons of carbon-14

There are four unpaired electron which are called as valence electron also.The spin of the four unpaired electron is either upfilled or down filled.

The ground state electronic configuration of C-atom is 1s²2s²2p² and one electron from 2s orbital gets excited to 2p orbital. The elctronic configuration in excited state is 1s²2s¹ $2p_{x}^{1} 2p_{y}^{1}2p_{z}^{1}$ .

The electron jumps because half-filled orbitals are more stable. Exchange energy is less than pairing energy.

acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water. if you had a mixture of acetic acid and water, you could seperate it by?

melomori [17]

Since acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water and vinegar and water are highly miscible, we cant separate the two by filtration but one way is to use their volatilities. We can boil the solution at 100oC and thats the time, water remains in the container.

What relationship do you see between an electronic configuration of an element to its most common ion formed?

ZanzabumX [31]

An ion is an atom that has lost or gained an electron so the relation ship you would see would be a negative or a positive one depending on if it gained or lost an electron.<span />

Write a net ionic equation that describes a slightly basic solution resulting from dissolving nac2h3o2 in water. Identify all of

Natali [406]

Answer: The net ionic equation will be as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the given reaction is as follows.

$CH_{3}COONa(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftarrow CH_{3}COOH(aq) + NaOH(aq)$

We know that a strong acid or base will dissociate completely into a solvent whereas a weak acid or base dissociates partially into the solvent. Hence, the ionic equation will be as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + Na^{+}(aq) H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH(aq) + Na^{+}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$ Now, we will cancel the spectator ions from the above equation. Therefore, the net ionic equation will be as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COOH(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

or, $C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}(aq) + OH^{-}(aq)$

Seems to be an ideal gas law question. The relevant equation is:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure in atmospheres, V is the volume in liters, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the gas constant (0.082 atm-L/mole-deg K), and T is temperature in Kelvins. STP means standard temperature and pressure and this is taken as 1 atm and 0º C or 273 K.

To calculate the number of molecules we will use the constant 6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mole and, therefore, we will need to know the number of moles (n). So, first we’ll rearrange the gas law equation, isolating ’n’ and then put the numbers in.

n = PV/RT = 1 * 1 / (0.082)(273) = 0.0447 moles

So, to calculate the number of molecules, multiple this by the number of molecules in a mole and you get:

# molecules of nitrogen in 1 Liter at STP = 6.023 * 10^23 molecules/mole * 0.0447 moles = 2.6905 * 10^22 molecules

Note, it does not matter what the gas is.

Science is a unique field of thought because it relies on _______ to describe the world. A Teachers and students B Observations

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

B) Observations and experimentation

Explanation:

this is the most suitable words to describe how is Science used in describing the world. we collect the knowledge in organized way and provide it with explanations and start to predict about the future world

ِAny Inventions are based on Science and no Inventions without Observations and experimentation

No one of us have went to a chemistry or a physics labs without using Observations and experimentation
