C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.
A higher density (besides H2O) as they have a more rigid structure, they have better conductive abilities than their liquid or gas forms. there are a couple more that i cannot think of at this moment in time.
Answer:
B. Excited state
Explanation:
Energy levels higher than the ground state are called the excited states. This concept is based on the premise that electrons can move round the nucleus in certain permissibe orbits or energy levels.
The ground state is the lowest energy state available to the electron. This is usually the most stable state.
The excited state is any level higher than the ground state. An electron in an energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.
Answer:
The percent by mass of copper in the mixture was 32%
Explanation:
The ammount of HNO₃ used is:
mol HNO₃ = volume * concentration
mol HNO₃ = 0.015 l * 15.8 mol/l
mol HNO₃ = 0.237 mol
According to the reaction, 4 mol HNO₃ will react with 1 mol Cu and produce 1 mol Cu²⁺. Since we have 0.237 mol HNO₃, the amount of Cu that could react would be (0.237 mol HNO₃ * 1 mol Cu / 4 mol HNO₃) 0.06 mol. This reaction would produce 0.060 mol Cu²⁺, however, only 0.010 mol Cu²⁺ were obtained, indicating that only 0.010 mol Cu were present in the mixture. This means that the acid was in excess, so we can assume that all copper present in the mixture has reacted.
Since 0.010 mol of Cu²⁺ were produced, the amount of Cu was 0.01 mol.
1 mol of Cu has a mass of 63.5 g, then 0.01 mol has a mass of:
0.01 mol Cu * 63.5 g / 1 mol = 0.635 g.
Since this amount was present in 2.00 g mixture, the amount of copper in 100 g of the mixture will be:
100 g(mixture) * 0.635 g Cu / 2 g(mixture) = 32 g
Then, the percent by mass of Cu (which is the mass of Cu in 100 g mixture) is 32%
