where 1s, 2s, and 2p are the occupied subshells, and the superscript "2" is the number of electrons in each of these subshells.

Use the rules for determining electron configurations to write the electron configuration for Ca. Express your answer in complete form in order of orbital filling. For example, 1s22s2 should be entered as 1s^22s^2.

Answer: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Explanation:

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electrons are filled according to Afbau's rule in order of increasing energies where orbital with higher value of (n+l) has higher energy as compared to orbital having lower (n+l) value. Thus the electronic configuration for calcium with atomic number of 20 and hence containing 20 electrons is :

Ca:20:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Answer:

A very large amount of energy is produced from a series of chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the process of splitting apart nuclei (usually large nuclei). When large nuclei, such as uranium-235, fissions, energy is released. So much energy is released that there is a measurable decrease in mass, from the mass-energy equivalence. This means that some of the mass is converted to energy.

What is the concentration of 60 mL of H3PO4 if it is neutralized by 225 mL of 2 M Ba(OH)2?
goldfiish [28.3K]

7.5 M is the concentration of 60 ml of H3PO4 if it is neutralized by 225 ml of 2 M Ba(OH)2.

Explanation:

Data given:

volume of phosphoric acid, Vacid =60 ml

volume of barium hydroxide, Vbase = 225 ml

molarity of barium hydroxide, Mbase = 2M

Molarity of phosphoric acid, Macid =?

the formula for titration is used as:

Macid x Vacid = Mbase x Vbase

rearranging the equation to get Macid

Macid = \frac{Mbase x Vbase}{Vacid}

Macid =\frac{225 X 2}{60}

Macid = 7.5 M

the concentration of the phosphoric acid is 7.5 M and the volume is 60 ml. Thus 7.5 M solution of phosphoric acid is used to neutralize the barium hydroxide solution of 2M.
