<h2>Answer:</h2>

Iron have unpaired 3d electrons.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

It can be explained by observing electronic configuration of the given elements.

  1. Zn-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s².
  2. Fe-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁶ 4s².
  3. Ca-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s².
  4. Ge-  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p².

Where, Zn is zinc,

            Fe is iron,

            Ca is calcium and

            Ge is germanium.

  • 3d orbital have 5 sub shells which means it can carry 10 electrons.
  • On observing electronic configuration of Zn, 3d orbital have 10 electrons and hence it is completely filled and no unpaired electrons in 3d orbital.
  • On observing electronic configuration of Fe, 3d orbital have 6 electrons and hence have unpaired electrons (as five electrons will fill five sub shell of d orbital and the 6th electron will enter in first sub shell and get paired and the other 4 sub shell will have only one electron and hence will be unpaired).
  • On observing electronic configuration of Ca it does not have 3d orbital and hence it is out of the case.
  • On observing electronic configuration of Ge 3d orbital is completely filled with 10 electrons and hence is completely paired.

Result: Fe have unpaired 3d electrons.

34. 3.15 mol of an unknown solid is placed into enough water to make 150.0 mL of solution. The solution's temperature increases
Digiron [165]

Answer:

ΔH = 2.68kJ/mol

Explanation:

The ΔH of dissolution of a reaction is defined as the heat produced per mole of reaction. We have 3.15 moles of the solid, to find the heat produced we need to use the equation:

q = m*S*ΔT

<em>Where q is heat of reaction in J,</em>

<em>m is the mass of the solution in g,</em>

<em>S is specific heat of the solution = 4.184J/g°C</em>

<em>ΔT is change in temperature = 11.21°C</em>

The mass of the solution is obtained from the volume and the density as follows:

150.0mL * (1.20g/mL) = 180.0g

Replacing:

q = 180.0g*4.184J/g°C*11.21°C

q = 8442J

q = 8.44kJ when 3.15 moles of the solid react.

The ΔH of the reaction is:

8.44kJ/3.15 mol

= 2.68kJ/mol

In stars, hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements. what is this process called?
slega [8]
Hello!

The process in which hydrogen nuclei combine with each other to form helium and other heavier elements is called Nuclear Fusion.

Nuclear Fusion happens when the repulsion between the two nuclei is overcome by the Strong Interaction Force, spending and releasing high amounts of energy.

The two nuclei need to be close enough for Nuclear Fusion to happen, and the energy needed to achieve that is given by the extremely hot temperatures that exist within stars (about 15 000 000 Kelvin). That's why this kind of reactions are common in stars. 

Have a nice day!
