How many electrons are in the highest occupied energy level of an element in group 5a

Chemistry
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

3 electrons

Explanation:

The elements of group 5A of the periodic table are the following:

nitrogen, sodium, arsenic, antimony and bismuth.

To determine the amount of electrons in the last energy level we need to know the electronic configuration of each element.

Electronic configuration

N: [He] 2s2 2p3

P: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p3

As: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p3

Sb: [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p3

Bi: [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3

As we can see they all have 3 electrons in their last energy level .

Determine the mass of CuSO4 • 5H20 that must be used to prepare 250mL of 2.01 M CuSO4(aq).
mario62 [17]

Given parameters:

Volume of CuSO₄ = 250mL

Concentration of CuSO₄ = 2.01M

Unknown:

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = ?

To solve this problem, we must write the chemical relationship between both species.;

             CuSO₄.5H₂O  →   CuSO₄ + 5H₂O

Now that we know the expression, it is possible to solve for the unknown mass.

First find the number of moles of CuSO₄;

         Number of moles  = Concentration x Volume

Take 250mL to L so as to ensure uniformity of units;

           Volume  = 250 x 10⁻³L

  Input the parameters and solve for number of moles;

        Number of moles  = 250 x 10⁻³  x  2.01 = 0.5mol

From the equation;

             1 mole of CuSO₄ is produced from 1 mole of CuSO₄.5H₂O  

So  0.5 moles of CuSO₄ will be produced from 0.5 moles of CuSO₄.5H₂O

Now let us find the molar mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = 63.6 + 32 + 4(16) + 5(2x1 + 16)  = 249.6g/mole

Mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O = number of moles x molar mass

                                      = 0.5 x 249.6

                                     = 124.8g

The mass of CuSO₄.5H₂O is 124.8g

Is o-toluic acid soluble in ether, NaOH?, Is Napthalene soluble in NaOH?
natima [27]
Yes, o-toluic acid is soluble in ether as ether is slightly polar and it is soluble in NaOH because it is likely to form soluble compounds with it.

Naphthalene is insoluble in NaOH.

According to the balanced equation shown below, 1.00 mole of oxalic acid, h2c2o4, reacts with _________ moles of permanganate io
zheka24 [161]
The balanced equation that shows the reaction between oxalic acid and permanganate ion in an acidic medium is: 2MnO4- + 5H2C2O4 + 6H+ -> 2Mn(2+) + 10CO2 + 8H2O. Thus, 1 mole of oxalic acid reacts with 0.4 mole of permanganate ion. This was obtained using stoichiometry:

1 mol H2C2O4 x (2 mol MnO4-/ 5 mol H2C2O4) = 0.4 mol MnO4- 

In this redox reaction, the permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion.

A solution is initially 0.10m in mg2+(aq) and 0.10m in fe2+(aq). solid naoh is slowly added. what is the concentration of fe2+ w
dexar [7]

Mg(OH)₂  ⇄ Mg²⁺   +   2 OH⁻

Ksp = [Mg²⁺] [OH⁻]²

6.0 x 10⁻¹⁰ = 0.10 x [OH⁻]²

[OH⁻] = 7.746 x 10⁻⁵ M

when Mg(OH)₂ 1st precipitates, [OH⁻] = 7.746 * 10⁻⁵ M

Fe(OH)₂   <—>   Fe²⁺   +   2OH⁻

Ksp = [Fe²⁺] [OH⁻]²

7.9 x 10⁻¹⁶ = [Fe²⁺] x (7.746 x 10⁻⁵)²

[Fe²⁺] = 1.32 x 10⁻⁷ M

Answer: 1.32 x 10⁻⁷ M
