Answer:
1) Ca: [Ar]4s²
2) Pm: [Xe]6s²4f⁵
Explanation:
1) Ca:
Its atomic number is 20. So it has 20 protons and 20 electrons.
Since it is in the row (period) 4 the noble gas before it is Ar, and the electron configuration is that of Argon whose atomic number is 18.
So, you have two more electrons (20 - 18 = 2) to distribute.
Those two electrons go the the orbital 4s.
Finally, the electron configuration is [Ar] 4s².
2) Pm
The atomic number of Pm is 61, so it has 61 protons and 61 electrons.
Pm is in the row (period) 6. So, the noble gas before Pm is Xe.
The atomic number of Xe is 54.
Therefore, you have to distribute 61 - 54 = 7 electrons on the orbitals 6s and 4f.
The resultant distribution for Pm is: [Xe]6s² 4f⁵.
Answer:
-973 KJ
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation is;
N2H4(aq) + 2Cl2(g) + 4OH^-(aq)---------> 4Cl-(aq) + 4H ^+(aq) + 4OH^-(aq) + N2(g)
Reduction potential of hydrazine = -1.16 V
Reduction potential of chlorine = 1.36 V
From;
E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode
E°cell= 1.36 - (-1.16)
E°cell= 2.52 V
∆G°=- nFE°cell
n= number of moles of electrons = 4
F= Faraday's constant = 96500 C
E°cell = 2.52 V
∆G°=- (4 × 96500 × 2.52)
∆G°= -972720 J
∆G°= -972.72 KJ
c. x-rays
My answer is that x-rays or gamma rays have the greatest (or highest) frequency waves.
Answer:
Approximately
.
Explanation:
The gallium here is likely to be produced from a
solution using electrolysis. However, the problem did not provide a chemical equation for that process. How many electrons will it take to produce one mole of gallium?
Note the Roman Numeral "
" next to
. This numeral indicates that the oxidation state of the gallium in this solution is equal to
. In other words, each gallium atom is three electrons short from being neutral. It would take three electrons to reduce one of these atoms to its neutral, metallic state in the form of
.
As a result, it would take three moles of electrons to deposit one mole of gallium atoms from this gallium
solution.
How many electrons are supplied? Start by finding the charge on all the electrons in the unit coulomb. Make sure all values are in their standard units.

.
Calculate the number of electrons in moles using the Faraday's constant. This constant gives the size of the charge (in coulombs) on each mole of electrons.

Answer:
Percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %
Percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 42.8 %
Explanation:
The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:
Given that:
Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.
For first isotope, 121 Sb :
% = x %
Mass = 120.9038 u
For second isotope, 123 Sb:
% = 100 - x
Mass = 122.9042 u
Given, Average Mass = 121.7601 u
Thus,

Solving for x, we get that:
x = 57.2 %
<u>Thus, percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %
</u>
<u>percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 100 - 57.2 % = 42.8 %</u>
