Answer:

2 electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration

Explanation:

Valance electron:

The electrons which are present in the outer most energy level are known as valance electron. This can be calculated by the group number of the element. Generally the group number is same as the valance electrons of any elements.

Octet rule: Generally all atoms will lose, gain or share electrons to attain 8 valence electrons; the electron configuration of the nearest noble element.

If an atom has 6 valence electrons; to get stable electron configuration of the nearest noble element require 2 electrons.

2 electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration

it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration

the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table

Question 12 (5 points) During an experiment a student traps 0.1941 g of an unknown gas in a 175.6 mL container at 298.1 K and a
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

V₂ = 155.2 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume =175.6 mL

Initial pressure =0.9648 atm

Initial temperature = 298.1 K

Final temperature = 273 K

Final volume =?

Final pressure = 1 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂  /T₁P₂

V₂ = 0.9648 atm × 175.6 mL × 273 k / 298.1 K× 1 atm

V₂ = 46251.4 atm. k. mL/ 298.1 K× 1 atm

V₂ = 155.2 mL

The atomic number of carbon is 6. how many electrons does it contain in its outer valence shell?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
There are 6 electrons in the atom of a carbon.
The first atomic level will be occupied by 2 electrons while the second will be occupied by 4 electrons.

Based on this, the outer valence shell of carbon (which is L shell) will be occupied by 4 electrons.

A 0.100 M solution of chloroacetic acid 1ClCH2COOH2 is 11.0% ionized. Using this information, calculate 3ClCH2COO-4, 3H 4, 3ClCH
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

[CICH2COOH] = 0.089 M

[CICH2COO-] = 0.011 M

[H+] = 0.011 M

Ka = 1.36 x 10^-3

Explanation:

The reaction

CICH2COOH  ⇄ H+ (aq) + CICH2COO- (aq)

The initial concentration of CICH2COOH is 0.10 M , chloroacetic acid is 11.0% ionized.

let us calculate Ka

First , find change in concentration

since , 11% ionized

change in concentration = 0.10 X 11% = 0.011 M

Initial Concentration of CICH2COOH = 0.10 M

change in concentration of CICH2COOH = - 0.011 M

Equilibrium Concentration of CICH2COOH = 0.10 M - 0.011 M = 0.089 m

Initial Concentration of CICH2COO- = 0 M

change in concentration of CICH2COO- = + 0.011 M

Equilibrium Concentration of CICH2COO- = 0.011 M

Initial Concentration of H+ = 0 M

change in concentration of H+ = + 0.011 M

Equilibrium Concentration of H+ = 0.011 M

Therefore,

[CICH2COOH] = 0.089 M

[CICH2COO-] = 0.011 M

[H+] = 0.011 M

Ka = [H+][CICH2COO-] /[CICH2COOH]

Ka = (0.011 * 0.011) / (0.089)

Ka = 1.36 x 10^-3
