The correct answer is 2.

In oxidation-reduction reactions (or redox reactions), a number of electrons are transferred between two species. During this process, the oxidation number of an atom (or molecule or ion) changes by receiving or losing an electron.

Which of the following electron configurations are written incorrectly?

Lynna [10]

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.

If 0.2 g of nitrobenzene are added to 10.9 g of naphthalene, calculate the molality of the solution. (given: molar mass of nitro

In-s [12.5K]

Molality is defined as 1 mole of a solute in 1 kg of solvent.

Molality=

$\frac{Number of moles of solute}{Mass of solvent in kg}$

Number of moles of solute, n=

$\frac{Given mass of the substance}{Molar mass of the substance}$

Given mass of the nitrobenzene=0.2 g

Molar mass of the substance= 123.06 g mol⁻¹

Number of moles of nitrobenzene,

$n= \frac{0.2 }{123.06}$

Number of moles of nitrobenzene, n= 0.0016 mol

Mass of 10.9 g of naphthalene in kg=0.0109

$Molality= \frac{0.0016}{0.0109 }$

Molality= 0.146 m

Gallium chloride is formed by the reaction of 2.25 L of a 1.50 M solution of HCl according to the following equation: 2Ga 6HCl -

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

198.56g of GaCl3

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole HCl in 2.25 L of a 1.50 M solution of HCl. This is illustrated below:

Molarity of HCl = 1.50 M

Volume = 2.25 L

Mole of HCl =..?

Molarity = mole /Volume

1.5 = mole /2.25

Cross multiply

Mole = 1.5 x 2.25

Mole of HCl = 3.375 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole Gallium chloride, GaCl3 produced from the reaction. This is shown below:

2Ga + 6HCl —> 2GaCl3 + 3H2

From the balanced equation above,

6 moles of HCl reacted to produce 2 moles of GaCl3.

Therefore, 3.375 mole of HCl will react to produce = (3.375 x 2)/6 = 1.125 mole of GaCl3.

Therefore, 1.125 moles of GaCl3 were produced from the reaction.

Next, we shall convert 1.125 mole of GaCl3 to grams. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of GaCl3 = 70 + (35.5x3) = 176.5g/mol

Mole of GaCl3 = 1.125 mole

Mass of GaCl3 =..?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

1.125 = mass of GaCl3 /176.5

Cross multiply

Mass of GaCl3 = 1.125 x 176.5

Mass of GaCl3 = 198.56g

Therefore, 198.56g of GaCl3 were produced from the reaction.

Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an<br> unknown chemical?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.
