The p subshell can hold up to eight electrons in an atom (2 points) True or false?

Chemistry

Answer: The statement is false

Explanation:

Electrons occupy a region in atoms known as orbitals or subs hell.  These orbitals include

I) S-orbital: it can occupy a maximum of two electrons

II) P-orbital: It occupies a maximum of six electrons

III) D-orbital: it occupies a maximum of ten electrons

F and G-orbitals as examples of other orbitals present.

A good illustration of the 6 electrons occupied by the P-subshell is seen in Sodium (Na) with atomic number of 11

Na = 1s2, 2S2 2p6, 3s1

Note: extra electrons are transferred to the next orbital

Answer:

The answer to your question is 24.325

Explanation:

Data

Magnesium-24  Abundance = 78.70%

Magnesium-25  Abundance = 10.13%

Magnesium-26  Abundance = 11.17%

Process

1.- Convert the abundance to decimals

Magnesium-24  Abundance = 78.70/100 = 0.787

Magnesium-25  Abundance = 10.13/100 = 0.1013

Magnesium-26  Abundance = 11.17/100 = 0.1117

2.- Write an equation

Average atomic mass = (Atomic mass-1 x Abundance 1) + (Atomic mass 2 x

                                       Abundance-2) + (Atomic mass 3 x Abundance 3)

3.- Substitution

Average atomic mass = (24 x 0.787) + (25 x 0.1013) + (26 x 0.1117)

4.- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 18.888 + 2.533 + 2.904

5.- Result

Average atomic mass = 24.325

At what temperature is the following reaction feasible: HCl(g) + NH3(g) -> NH4Cl(s)?
Nutka1998 [239]
Energy is distributed not just in translational KE, but also in rotation, vibration and also distributed in electronic energy levels (if input great enough, bond breaks).

All four forms of energy are quantised and the quanta ‘gap’ differences increases from trans. KE ==> electronic.

Entropy (S) and energy distribution: The energy is distributed amongst the energy levels in the particles to maximise their entropy.

Entropy is a measure of both the way the particles are arranged AND the ways the quanta of energy can be arranged.

We can apply ΔSθsys/surr/tot ideas to chemical changes to test feasibility of a reaction:

ΔSθtot = ΔSθsys +  ΔSθsurr

ΔSθtot must be >=0 for a chemical change to be feasible.

For example: CaCO3(s) ==> CaO(s) + CO2(g) 

ΔSθsys = ΣSθproducts – ΣSθreactants 

ΔSθsys = SθCaO(s) + SθCO2(g) – SθCaCO3(s) 

ΔSθsurr is –ΔHθ/T(K) and ΔH is very endothermic (very +ve),

Now ΔSθsys is approximately constant with temperature and at room temperature the ΔSθsurr term is too negative for ΔSθtot to be plus overall.

But, as the temperature is raised, the ΔSθsurr term becomes less negative and eventually at about 800oCΔSθtot becomes plus overall (and ΔGθ becomes negative), so the decomposition is now chemically, and 'commercially' feasible in a lime kiln.

CaCO3(s) ==> CaO(s) + CO2(g)  ΔHθ = +179 kJ mol–1  (very endothermic)

This important industrial reaction for converting limestone (calcium carbonate) to lime (calcium oxide) has to be performed at high temperatures in a specially designed limekiln – which these days, basically consists of a huge rotating angled ceramic lined steel tube in which a mixture of limestone plus coal/coke/oil/gas? is fed in at one end and lime collected at the lower end. The mixture is ignited and excess air blasted through to burn the coal/coke and maintain a high operating temperature.
ΔSθsys = ΣSθproducts – ΣSθreactants
ΔSθsys = SθCaO(s) + SθCO2(g) – SθCaCO3(s) = (40.0) + (214.0) – (92.9) = +161.0 J mol–1 K–1
ΔSθsurr is –ΔHθ/T = –(179000/T)
ΔSθtot = ΔSθsys +  ΔSθsurr
ΔSθtot = (+161) + (–179000/T) = 161 – 179000/T
If we then substitute various values of T (in Kelvin) you can calculate when the reaction becomes feasible.
For T = 298K (room temperature)

ΔSθtot = 161 – 179000/298 = –439.7 J mol–1 K–1, no good, negative entropy change

For T = 500K (fairly high temperature for an industrial process)

ΔSθtot = 161 – 179000/500 = –197.0, still no good

For T = 1200K (limekiln temperature)

ΔSθtot = 161 – 179000/1200 = +11.8 J mol–1 K–1, definitely feasible, overall positive entropy change

Now assuming ΔSθsys is approximately constant with temperature change and at room temperature the ΔSθsurr term is too negative for ΔSθtot to be plus overall. But, as the temperature is raised, the ΔSθsurr term becomes less negative and eventually at about 800–900oC ΔSθtot becomes plus overall, so the decomposition is now chemically, and 'commercially' feasible in a lime kiln.
You can approach the problem in another more efficient way by solving the total entropy expression for T at the point when the total entropy change is zero. At this point calcium carbonate, calcium oxide and carbon dioxide are at equilibrium.
ΔSθtot–equilib = 0 = 161 – 179000/T, 179000/T = 161, T = 179000/161 = 1112 K

This means that 1112 K is the minimum temperature to get an economic yield. Well at first sight anyway. In fact because the carbon dioxide is swept away in the flue gases so an equilibrium is never truly attained so limestone continues to decompose even at lower temperatures.

What is the molality of a solution made by dissolving 137.9g of sucrose in 414.1g of water?
Daniel [21]

Answer: 2.71 moles of solute for every 1 kg of solvent.

Explanation: As you know, the molality of a solution tells you the number of moles of solute present for every 1 kg of the solvent.This means that the first thing that you need to do here is to figure out how many grams of water are present in your sample. To do that, use the density of water.500.mL⋅1.00 g1mL=500. g Next, use the molar mass of the solute to determine how many moles are present in the sample.115g⋅1 mole NanO385.0g=1.353 moles NaNO3So, you know that this solution will contain 1.353moles of sodium nitrate, the solute, for 500. g of water, the solvent.In order to find the molality of the solution, you must figure out how many moles of solute would be present for 1 kg=103g of water.103g water⋅1.353 moles NaNO3500.g water=2.706 moles NaNO3You can thus say that the molality of the solution is equal to molality=2.706 mol kg−1≈2.71 mol kg−1 The answer is rounded to three sig figs.
