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

Why should the water in the calorimeter be stirred throughout the reaction?
Readme [11.4K]
I think this is done to allow even distribution of temperature in all the regions of the calorimeter. That is to make sure that there are no hot or cold spots and also ensure that the measured temperature is the actual average temperature when the readings are taken by a thermometer.
