Explain why the term recycling is an excellent description of plate tectonics

We may not see notice it but plate tectonics actually have a "recycle" process. However, scientist reported that it happens in a span of 500 million years. Over the years, the oceanic crusts are pressured to the topmost layer of the mantle causing the oceanic crusts to melt and mix with the Earth's mantle. Such crust blending results to the formation of volcanoes underwater. In time, the said volcanoes would erupt causing the formation of new oceanic and continental crusts.

According to Hund's rule of maximum spin multiplicity, how many singly-occupied orbitals are there in the valence shells of the

leva [86]

Answer:

A) carbon - 2

B) cobalt - 3

C) sulfur - 2

D) fluorine - 1

E) titanium - 2

F) germanium - 2

Explanation:

Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:-

Firstly, every orbital which is present in the sublevel is singly occupied and then the orbital is doubly occupied.

(A) Carbon.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^2$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Carbon has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

(B) Cobalt.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{7}4s^2$

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 3 orbitals will be singly filled in cobalt.

(C) Sulfur.

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

Thus, 3s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 2 electrons will be paired in 1 orbital and 2 orbitals will be singly filled in sulfur.

D) fluorine

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^5$

Thus, 2s orbital is fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, 4 electrons will be paired in 2 orbitals and 1 orbital will be singly filled in fluorine.

E) Titanium

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{2}4s^2$

Thus, 4s orbital is fully filled and d orbital can singly filled 5 electrons. Thus, 2 orbitals will be singly filled in titanium.

F) Germanium

The electronic configuration is -

$1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^2$

Thus, 4s, 3d orbitals are fully filled and p orbital can singly filled 3 electrons. Thus, Germanium has 2 singly occupied orbitals.

An aqueous potassium carbonate solution is made by dissolving 5.51 moles of K 2 CO 3 in sufficient water so that the final volum

ad-work [718]

Answer:

1.67mol/L

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Mole of solute (K2CO3) = 5.51 moles

Volume of solution = 3.30 L

Molarity =?

Molarity is simply the mole of solute per unit litre of the solution. It can be expressed mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute /Volume of solution

Molarity = 5.51 mol/3.30 L

Molarity = 1.67mol/L

Therefore, the molarity of K2CO3 is 1.67mol/L
