Citrus2011 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

 The Ce metal has electronic configuration as follows

[Xe] 4f¹5d¹6s²

After losing 4 electrons , it gains noble gas configuration ,. So Ce ⁺⁴ is stable.

Eu  has electronic configuration as follows

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷6s²

[ Xe ] 4 f ⁷

Its outermost orbit contains 2 electrons so  Eu²⁺ is stable. Its +3 oxidation state is also stable.

Ce⁺²

<span>The first method to determine the chemical composition of a substance in space was using light. By determining red shift in the observed spectrum of light they could determine the elements they were observing. Different elements change the way light behaves and from this scientists can determine the makeup of things such as stars and nebulas.</span>

It takes 2 g of chlorine to sanitize 1,000,000g of water. How much chlorine will it take to sanitize a 40,000-gallon pool? ( 1 g
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

0.1g (Gallon) of chlorine

Explanation:

<u>Formula</u>

1 gallon = 3.7L; the density of water is 1.0g/ml

<u>Given</u>

2g (gallon) of chlorine to sanitize = 1,000,000g (gallon) of water

<u>Solve</u>

If 2g (gallon) chlorine = 1,000,000g (gallon)

∴, ? chlorine = 40,000

The First step; set up an equation

1000000/2 = 40000/?

The Next step; divide 1 million to 2

1000000 ÷ 2 = 500000

Then, divide the result by 40000

40000 ÷ 500000 = 0.08

In the nearest unit that is 0.1

Therefore, it will take 0.1g (gallon) of chlorine to sanitize a 40,000-gallon pool.
