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

What is the molarity of a solution in which 7.1 g of sodium sulfate is dissolved in enough water to make 100. mL of solution?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.50 M

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of sodium sulfate (solute): 7.1 g

Volume of solution: 100 mL

Step 1: Calculate the moles of the solute

The molar mass of sodium sulfate is 142.04 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 7.1 grams of sodium sulfate are:

$7.1g \times \frac{1mol}{142.02g} = 0.050mol$

Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to liters

We will use the relation 1 L = 1000 mL.

$100mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} =0.100L$

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

$M = \frac{moles\ of\ solute }{liters\ of\ solution} = \frac{0.050mol}{0.100L} =0.50 M$
