OleMash [197]3 years ago

Answer:

2. (C) K⁺; 3. (E) Hg⁺; 4. Hg⁺

Explanation:

We must first write the electron configurations of the different species.

(A) Fe²⁺

Fe:     [Ar]4s²3d⁶

Fe²⁺: [Ar]3d⁶

When removing electrons from a transition metal ion, you remove the s electrons first.

(B) Cl

Cl: [Ne]3s²3p⁵

(C) K⁺

K:   [Ar]4s

K⁺: [Ar]

(D) Cs

Cs: [Xe]6s

(E) Hg⁺

Hg:   [Xe]6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰

Hg⁺: [Xe]6s4f¹⁴5d¹⁰

2. K⁺ has a noble gas configuration

3. Hg⁺ has electrons in f orbitals.

4. The electron configuration of Au is [Xe]6s4f¹⁴5d¹⁰, not [Xe]6s²4f¹⁴5d⁹, because a filled d subshell is more stable than a filled s subshell.

Thus, Hg⁺ is isoelectronic with Au.

chemistry A basketball is inflated to a pressure of 1.10 atm in a 28.0°C garage. What is the pressure of the basketball outside
butalik [34]

Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm

Explanation :

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

P\propto T

or,

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure = 1.10 atm

P_2 = final pressure = ?

T_1 = initial temperature = 28.0^oC=273+28.0=301.0K

T_2 = initial temperature = -2.00^oC=273+(-2.00)=271.0K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{1.10atm}{P_2}=\frac{301.0K}{271.0K}

P_2=0.990atm

Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm

Why do you think elements must be heated before they emit colored light?
Mademuasel [1]
The colored light emitted is energy and in order to emit energy the element should first obtain energy. The energy absorbed by the substance can be in the form of radiation, heat or electricity. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer this ASAP please!! Question: How many magnesium atoms does magnesium oxide need? (Science) (ONLY ANSWER IF YOU KNOW WHAT
aliina [53]

Answer:

40.3 for the unit that represents the minimum amount of magnesium oxide I beilieve.

Explanation:

Magnesium atoms are heavier than oxygen atoms, so we expect more than 50% of magnesium in the weight composition. Taking just one atom of Mg and one atom of O you will get a mass of 16.0 + 24.3 = 40.3.

Hope this helps! Please tell me if you have any questions :))
