Answer:

The effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom: $Z_{eff} = 4.55$

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge $[Z_{eff}]$ is the net nuclear charge experienced by the electron in a given atom. It is always less than the actual charge of the nucleus [Z], due to shielding by electrons in the inner shells.

It is equal to the difference between the actual nuclear charge or the atomic number (Z) and the shielding constant (s).

$\Rightarrow Z_{eff} = Z - s$

For an oxygen atom-

Electron configuration: (1s²) (2s² 2p⁴)

The atomic number (actual nuclear charge): Z = 8

The shielding constant (s) for a valence electron can be calculated by using the Slater's rules:

⇒ s = 5 × 0.35 + 2 × 0.85 = 1.75 + 1.7 = 3.45

Therefore, the effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom is:

$Z_{eff} = Z - s = 8 - 3.45 = 4.55$

Therefore, the effective nuclear charge for a valence electron in oxygen atom: $Z_{eff} = 4.55$

In order to prepare 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH you will add _____ mL of 1.00 M NaOH to _____ mL of water

FinnZ [79.3K]

The question requires us to complete the sentence regarding the preparation of a more dilute NaOH solution (0.100 M, 50.0 mL) from a more concentrated NaOH solution (1.00 M).

Analyzing the blank spaces that we need to fill in the sentence, we can see that we must provide the volume of the more concentrated solution and the volume of water necessary to prepare the solution.

We can use the following equation to calculate the volume of more concentrated solution required:

$\begin{gathered} C_1\times V_1=C_2\times V_2 \\ V_1=\frac{C_2\times V_2}{C_1} \end{gathered}$

where C1 is the concentration of the initial solution (C1 = 1.00 M), V1 is the volume required of the inital solution (that we'll calculate), C2 is the concentration of the final solution (C2 = 0.100 M) and V2 is the volume of the final solution (V2 = 50.0 mL).

Applying the values given by the question to the equation above, we'll have:

$\begin{gathered} V_1=\frac{C_2\times V_2}{C_1} \\ V_1=\frac{0.100M_{}\times50.0mL_{}}{1.00M_{}}=5.00mL \end{gathered}$

Thus, we would need 5.00 mL of the more concentrated solution.

Since the volume of the final solution is 50.0 mL and it corresponds to the volume of initial solution + volume of water, we can calculate the volume of water necessary as:

$\begin{gathered} \text{final volume = volume of initial solution + volume of water} \\ 50.0mL=5.00mL\text{ + volume of water} \\ \text{volume of water = 45.0 mL} \end{gathered}$

Thus, we would need 45.0 mL of water to prepare the solution.

Therefore, we can complete the sentence given as:

"In order to prepare 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH you will add 5.00 mL of 1.00 M NaOH to 45.0 mL of water"

B) The He atom has two electrons that have parallel spin in its 1s orbital.

C) Electrons generally occupy the lowest energy orbital first.

D) The arrangement of the orbitals is the same in a multielectron atom and a single-electron atom

E) The C atom has two unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

In writing sublevel notations certain rules are followed:

The maximum number of electrons in the orbitals of sublevels are:

two for s-sublevel with one orbital

six for p-sublevel with three orbitals

ten for d-sublevel with five orbitals

fourteen for f-sublevel with seven orbitals

Aufbau's principle states that sublevels with lower energies are filled before those with higher energies.

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s increasing order of filling

Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons can have the same set of the four quantum numbers i.e electrons in the same orbital cannot spin in the same direction.
Hund's rule states that electrons go into degenerate orbitals singly first before pairing up.

Based on these principles and the animation, the following options are correct:

B) The He atom has two electrons that have parallel spin in its 1s orbital.

Helium has two electrons in the 1s orbital. From Pauli's exclusion principle, we see that the two electrons cannot spin in the same way. Therefore, they have parallel spin

C) Electrons generally occupy the lowest energy orbital first.

From Aufbau's principle, electrons go into orbitals with lower energies first before those with higher energies.

D) The arrangement of the orbitals is the same in a multi-electron atom and a single-electron atom

1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d 4p 5s

Orbitals are arranged in the order of their energies from the lowest to the highest.
