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

Chemistry
1 answer:
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

A chemist mixes 1.00 g CuCl2 with an excess of (NH4)2HPO4 in dilute aqueous solution . He measures the evolution of 670 J of hea
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\Delta H will be 90054 J

Explanation:

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of CuCl_{2} = 134.45 g/mol

So, 1.00 g of CuCl_{2} = \frac{1.00}{134.45}mol of CuCl_{2} = 0.00744 mol of CuCl_{2}

0.00744 mol of CuCl_{2} produces 670 J of heat

So, 1 mol of CuCl_{2} produces \frac{670}{0.00744}J of heat or 90054 J of heat

All solutions<br>are mixtures; but<br>all mixtures are<br>not solutions.<br>why?​
aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

For hydrocyanic acid, HCN, Ka = 4.9 × 10-10. Calculate the pH of 0.20 M NaCN. What is the concentration of HCN in the solution?
gogolik [260]
By using the ICE table :

initial    0.2 M            0           0
change -X                 + X           +X
Equ     (0.2 -X)            X               X

when Ka = (X) (X) / (0.2-X)
so by substitution:

4.9x10^-10 = X^2 / (0.2-X) by solving this equation for X 
∴X ≈ 10^-6
∴[HCN] = 10^-6

and PH = -㏒[H+]
             = -㏒ 10^-6
             = 6

How does the arrangement of elements in periods relate to electron configuration
VashaNatasha [74]
Electronic Configuration of elements in a period is same because If you see the electronic Configuration of elements in a period you will notice that the valence shell electrons for all elements are present in the same Shell. For example, in first period consisting of Hydrogen and Helium, both the elements' valence electrons are present in the same Shell.
Electronic Configuration of Hydrogen,
1s^1
Electronic Configuration of Helium,
1s^2

Both elements' valance electrons are present in the 1st shell

(This is just a small example to understand the concept because other periods are long but the first period is short that's why I gave the example of the first period)
