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

Calculate the mass percent (m/m) of a solution prepared by dissolving 51.56 g of NaCl in 164.2 g of H2O. Express your answer to

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

"23.896%" is the right answer.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass of NaCl,

= 51.56 g

Mass of H₂O,

= 165.6 g

As we know,

⇒ Mass of solution = $Mass \ of \ (NaCl+H_2O)$

= $51.56+164.2$

= $215.76 \ g$

hence,

⇒ $Mass \ percent =\frac{Mass \ of \ NaCl}{Mass \ of \ solution}\times 100$

$=\frac{51.56}{215.76}\times 100$

$=23.896 \ percent$
