<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 1s^22s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Beryllium is the 4th element of the periodic table having 4 electrons around the nucleus of the atom.

This element belongs to Group 2 and period 2 of the periodic table.

The electronic configuration of electrically neutral beryllium atom is 1s^22s^2

This atom has 2 valence electrons.

Hence, the correct answer is 1s^22s^2

2KMnO4+3Na2SO3+H2O→2MnO2+3Na2SO4+2KOH
In a reaction, the reducing agent is the element or compound that donates electron or the one tht loses electrons. The oxidized species. The opposite is called the oxidizing agent. It is the one who accepts the electrons lost. For this reaction KMnO4 is reduced into MnO2.

A 1.00 g sample of octane (C8H18) is burned in a bomb calorimeter with a heat capacity of 837J∘C that holds 1200. g of water at
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Mass of octane = 1.00 grams

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 837 J/°C

Mass of water = 1200 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0°C

Final temperature : 33.2 °C

<u> Step 2:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the calorimeter

q = c*ΔT

⇒ with c = the heat capacity of the calorimeter = 837 J/°C

⇒ with ΔT = The change of temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25.0 : 8.2 °C

q = 837 * 8.2 = 6863.4 J

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate heat absorbed by the water

q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ m = the mass of the water = 1200 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 33.2 - 25  = 8.2 °C

q = 1200 * 4.184 * 8.2 =  41170.56 J

<u>Step 4</u>: Calculate the total heat

qcalorimeter + qwater = 6863.4 + 41170. 56 = 48033.96 J  = 48 kJ

Since this is an exothermic reaction, there is heat released. q is positive but ΔH is negative.

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate moles of octane

Moles octane = 1.00 gram / 114.23 g/mol

Moles octane = 0.00875 moles

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate heat combustion for 1.00 mol of octane

ΔH = -48 kJ / 0.00875 moles

ΔH = -5485.7 kJ/mol

The heat of combustion for 1.00 mol of octane is  -5485.7 kJ/mol

Rank the following atoms by number of valence electrons. Rank from most to fewest valence electrons. To rank items as equivalent
Fed [463]

To count the number of valence electrons we look at the electronic configuration and add the electrons form the electronic shell with the highest principal quantum number.

Rb: [Kr] 5s¹ - 1 valence electron

Xe: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁶ - 8 valence electrons

Sb: [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p³ - 5 valence electrons

I:    [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p⁵ - 7 valence electrons

In:  [Kr] 5s² 4d¹⁰ 5p¹ - 3 valence electrons

Rank from most to fewest valence electrons:

Xe > I > Sb > In > Rb
