Answer:

The element is germanium (Ge)

Explanation:

First of all we are considerating a neutral state element, meaning that it has the same amount of electrons and protons.

Also, [Ar] 4s2 3d10 4p2. means that the unknown element has the same electronic configuration as Argon, plus the electrons in the 4s, 3d and 4p.

So:

Argon has 18 electrons and protons (atomic number Z=18)

The element has 2 electrons in 4s, 10 in 3d and 2 in 4p: 2+10+2=14

The total electrons it has is: 14+18=32 electrons, and as we said before it also has 32 protons.

Once calculated the protons, we know the atomic number (Z=32) and we can look in the periodic table the element with Z=32.

That element is germanium (Ge)

What is the pH of a<br> 2.5 x 10-5 M solution<br> of HCI?

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 4.60.

Explanation:

The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or basicity of a solution. More precisely, it indicates the concentration of H30 + ions present in said solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14: from 0 to 7 corresponds to acid solutions, 7 neutral solutions and between 7 and 14 basic solutions. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H30 +)

pH= -log (2,5 x 10-5)

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 14.4 g of carbon were burned in the presence of

Natasha2012 [34]

When carbon reacts with oxygen it forms CO2. This can depicted by the below equation.

C + O2→ CO2

It has been mentioned that when 14.4 g of C reacts with 53.9 g of O2, then 15.5 g of O2 remains unreacted. <u>This indicates that Carbon is the limiting reagent and hence the amount of CO2 produced is based on the amount of Carbon burnt.</u>

C + O2→ CO2

In the above equation , 1 mole of carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2.

In this case 14.4 g of Carbon reacts with 53.9 of O2 to produce "x"g of CO2.

<u>No of moles = mass of the substance÷molar mass of the substance</u>

No of moles of carbon = 14.4 /12= 1.2 moles

No of moles of O2 = Mass of reacted O2/Molar mass of O2.

No of moles of O2 = (Total mass of O2 burned - Mass of unreacted O2)/32

No of moles of O2 = (53.9-15.5) ÷ 32 = 1.2 moles.

Hence as already discussed 1 mole of Carbon reacts with 1 mole of O2 to produce 1 mole of CO2. In this case 1.2 moles of carbon reacts with 1.2 moles of O2 to produce 1.2 moles of CO2.

Moles of carbon dioxide = Mass of CO2 produced /Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = Moles of CO2 ×Molar mass of CO2

Mass of CO2 produced(x) = 1.2 x 44 = 52.8 g

<u>Thus 52.8 g of CO2 is produced.</u>

If fluorine gas (F₂) occupies a volume of 45.5 L at a pressure of 850

pshichka [43]

Taking into account about the ideal gas law, the mass of fluorine gas is 63.2244 grams.

<h3>What is ideal gas law</h3>

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P×V = n×R×T

where:

P is the gas pressure.
V is the volume that occupies.
T is its temperature. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.
R is the ideal gas constant.
n is the number of moles of the gas.

<h3>Definition of molar mass</h3>

The molar mass of substance is a property defined as its mass per unit quantity of substance, in other words, molar mass is the amount of mass that a substance contains in one mole.

<h3>Mass of fluorine gas</h3>

In this case, you know:

P= 850 mmHg= 1.11842 atm (being 1 mmHg= 0.00131579 atm)
V= 45.5 L
T =100 °C= 373 K (being 0°C= 273 K)
R= 0.082 $\frac{atm L}{mol K}$
n= ?

Replacing in the ideal gas law:

1.11842 atm ×45.5 L = n×0.082 $\frac{atm L}{mol K}$ × 373 K

Solving:

n= (1.11842 atm ×45.5 L)÷ (0.082 $\frac{atm L}{mol K}$ × 373 K)

<u><em>n= 1.6638 moles</em></u>

The molar mass of F₂ is 38 g/mole. Then you can apply the folowing rule of three: If by definition of molar mass 1 mole of the compound contains 38 grams, 1.6638 moles of the compound contains how much mass?

$mass= \frac{1.6638 molesx38 grams}{1 mole}$
