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.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

In the reaction between p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride to form acetaminophen, 4.5 ml of water were added. This was done to recover the product out the container. Water was used as a means of carrying out the product out the container. However, it should be noted that we would want a small amount to be added in order to avoid the product dissolving onto it.

I’m confused because this is the answer key and I don’t know how they got the answer to number 1)
Tems11 [23]

Question One

It's more a question of unscrambling what is there. The answer is correct.

If you look at your periodic table, there is such an element as Na which I suspect might be the problem.

It has an atomic mass of 23. It's atomic number is 11 which means it is the 11th member (by mass) on the periodic table. The other 2 are oxygen and hydrogen.  So Oxygen has an atomic mass of 16 and Hydrogen has an atomic  mass of 1.

Oxygen is number 8 on the periodic table and hydrogen is number 1.

Molecular Mass

Na = 23

O = 16

H = 1

Total 40, just as the answer key says. I've probably given you more than you wanted to know, but if you still have trouble, leave a note.

If light at 193 nm from an argon–fluoride laser is incident on a gold metal surface, electrons with kinetic energy of 1.80  10–
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:work function= 8.2×10-19J

Minimum wavelength of light required= 2.4×10-7m

Explanation:

The wavelength of incident light was given as 193nm. We have to convert this to meters and have 193×10-9m. Then we use it to find the energy of incident photon E. When E is found we now apply Einstein photoelectric equation to obtain the work function Wo since the kinetic energy of photoelectrons is known as 1.8×10-19J.

From this work function. We can obtain the minimum wavelength of light required. All these steps are shown in the image attached.
