Answer: The chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound having name potassium sulfite. This compound is formed by the combination of potassium ions and sulfite ions.

Potassium is the 19th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $K^{+}$ ion

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_3^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

The men's world record for swimming 1500 m in a long course pool is 14 min 34.56 s. At this rate how many seconds would it take

vlabodo [156]

Distance = 1500m, time = 14min 34.56s = 14*60 + 34.56 = 874.56s

Speed = Distance / time = 1500/874.56 = 1.715 m/s

In order to swim 0.7 miles, 1 mile = 1609.344 m

Time = Distance / speed = 1609.344 m / 1.715 m/s = 938.393 seconds

938/60 = 15 minutes, 38 seconds.

= 15 minutes 38.393 seconds.

A species has the following MO configuration: (σ1s)2(σ1s*)2(σ2s)2(σ2s*)2(σ2p)2(π2p)2. This substance is:_______.

Goshia [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (a) paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons.

Explanation :

According to the molecular orbital theory, the general molecular orbital configuration will be,

$(\sigma_{1s}),(\sigma_{1s}^*),(\sigma_{2s}),(\sigma_{2s}^*),(\sigma_{2p_z}),[(\pi_{2p_x})=(\pi_{2p_y})],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)$

As there are 14 electrons present in the given configuration.

The molecular orbital configuration of molecule will be,

$(\sigma_{1s})^2,(\sigma_{1s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2s})^2,(\sigma_{2s}^*)^2,(\sigma_{2p_z})^2,[(\pi_{2p_x})^1=(\pi_{2p_y})^1],[(\pi_{2p_x}^*)^0=(\pi_{2p_y}^*)^0],(\sigma_{2p_z}^*)^0$

The number of unpaired electron in the given configuration is, 2. So, this is paramagnetic. That means, more the number of unpaired electrons, more paramagnetic.

Hence, the correct option is, (a) paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons.
