Answer:

The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.

There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.

All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".

In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.

The other options are correctly written.

1) If the pressure on 2.6 liters of a gas at 860 Torr is increased to 1000 Torr,

LenKa [72]

2.24 liters is the volume of the gas if pressure is increased to 1000 Torr.

Explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the gas V1 = 2.6 liters

Initial pressure of the gas P1 = 860 Torr 1.13 atm

final pressure on the gas P2 = 1000 Torr 1.315 atm

final volume of the gas after pressure change V2 =?

From the data given above, the law used is :

Boyles Law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

= 1.13 X 2.6/ 1.31

= 2.24 Liters

If the pressure is increased to 1000 Torr or 1.315 atm the volume changes to 2.24 liters. Initially the volume was 2.6 litres and the pressure was 860 torr.

Calculate the freezing point and boiling point of a solution containing 8.15 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in 96.3 mL of ethanol

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: The freezing point of solution is -117.54°C and the boiling point of solution is 80.48°C

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of ethanol, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

Volume of ethanol = 96.3 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.789g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of ethanol}}{96.3mL}\\\\\text{Mass of ethanol}=(0.789g/mL\times 96.3mL)=75.98g$

Calculating the freezing point:

Depression in freezing point is defined as the difference in the freezing point of pure solution and freezing point of solution.

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

$\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = -114.1 °C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point elevation constant = 1.99°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 8.15 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 62 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 75.98 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$-114.1-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 1.99^oC/m\times \frac{8.15\times 1000}{62g/mol\times 75.98}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=-117.54^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is -117.54°C

Calculating the boiling point:

Elevation in boiling point is defined as the difference in the boiling point of solution and freezing point of pure solution.

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ in grams}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure solution = 78.4°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 1.20°C/m.g

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 8.15 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (ethylene glycol) = 62 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (ethanol) = 75.98 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-78.4=1\times 1.20^oC/m\times \frac{8.15\times 1000}{62\times 75.98}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=80.48^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 80.48°C

The change in entropy, ΔS∘rxn , is related to the the change in the number of moles of gas molecules, Δngas . Determine the chan

kifflom [539]

Explanation:

Entropy of a reaction ΔS∘rxn is the degree of disoderliness in a system. Gases generally have a higher degree of disorder compared to liquids. Hence for the reaction 2H2(g)+O2(g) ⟶ 2H2O(l), the entropy decreases sice the reactants are in the gaseous state and the products is in the liquid state of matter
