Use electron configurations to account for the stability of the lanthanide ions Ce⁴⁺ and Eu²⁺.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Citrus2011 [14]4 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

Calculate the ΔG°' for the reaction with 3 significant figures with no label for the dimension (just the number). fructose-6-pho
seraphim [82]

Answer:

ΔG° = 1747.523

Explanation:

The parameters mentioned are;

Gibbs Free energy ΔG°

Equilibrium constant Kc

Temperature T = 37 + 273 = 310 (upon conversion to kelvin temperature)

The formular relating all three parameters is given as;

ΔG° =  -RTlnKc

Where; R = rate constant = 8.314 J⋅K−1⋅mol−1

Upon solving;

ΔG° = - 8.314 * 310 * ln(1.97)

ΔG° = 1747.523
