They can probably use those radioactive measuring things. But they will still use proper caution around it.

Consider the SCl2 molecule. (a) What is the electron config- uration of an isolated S atom? (b) What is the electron con- figura
iragen [17]

Answer:

(a) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴

(b) 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

(c) sp³

(d) No valence orbital remains unhybridized.

Explanation:

<em>Consider the SCl₂ molecule. </em>

<em>(a) What is the electron configuration of an isolated S atom? </em>

S has 16 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁴.

<em>(b) What is the electron configuration of an isolated Cl atom? </em>

Cl has 17 electrons. Its electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

<em>(c) What hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the S atom to make the S-Cl bonds in SCl₂? </em>

SCl₂ has a tetrahedral electronic geometry. Therefore, the orbital 3s hybridizes with the 3 orbitals 3 p to form 4 hybrid orbital sp³.

<em>(d) What valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the S atom in SCl₂?</em>

No valence orbital remains unhybridized.

A chemist must prepare 300.0mL of nitric acid solution with a pH of 0.70 at 25°C. He will do this in three steps: Fill a 300.0mL
d1i1m1o1n [39]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

pH = 0.70

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.70=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=10^{-0.70}=0.199M

1 mole of nitric acid produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of nitrate ions.

Molarity of nitric acid = 0.199 M

To calculate the volume of the concentrated solution, we use the equation:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2

where,

M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the molarity and volume of the concentrated nitric acid solution

M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the molarity and volume of diluted nitric acid solution

We are given:

M_1=7.0M\\V_1=?mL\\M_2=0.199M\\V_2=350mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

7.0\times V_1=0.199\times 350.0\\\\V_1=\frac{0.199\times 350}{7.0}=9.95mL

Hence, the volume of concentrated solution required is 9.95 mL

How many moles are in 25 grams of dihydrogen monoxide
timurjin [86]
If you'd like the full working, here it is:

I calculated this by using the formula triangle.

Mass

Number Formula
Of moles Mass

To calculate the number if moles in a substance, you need to divide the Mass by the Formula mass. You get the formula mass by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the compound together. In this situation, H2O, it would be two hydrogen molecules plus one oxygen molecule which is 2 + 16. This is because the atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1 and the atomic mass of Oxygen is 16.

Now that we have the Formula mass we can go ahead and do the calculation since we already have the Mass. You do as follows:

Mass divided by Formula mass which is in this case - 25 divided by 18

By doing this calculation you will get the answer which is 1.38 moles which can be rounded to 1.4

Hope this helps :)
