Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p³

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Excited state configuration: 1s² 2s² 2p² 3s¹

Unknown:

Ground state configuration = ?

Element symbol = ?

Solution:

Let us start by understanding what a ground state configuration entails:

A ground state configuration shows the lowest allowed energy levels of an atom. The excited state denotes when electrons have moved to higher energy levels away from their ground state.

The superscript in the configuration depicts the number of electrons in each of the sublevels.

We can use this number to identify the atom we are dealing with:

 Total number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 7 electrons

The element with 7 electrons on the periodic table is Nitrogen.

Now, the ground state configuration:

In writing the electronic configuration of an atom, certain rules must be complied with.

  • Aufbau's principle states that the sublevels with lower energies are filled up before those with higher energies. The order of filling is:

        1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s etc

To fill the s-orbital = 2 electrons

                p-orbital = 6 electrons

The outermost shell electrons are usually the ones excited.

  Now, the 3s¹ shell is an excited one taking 1 electron from the second energy level;

 The ground state configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p³

What causes gas pressure
kaheart [24]

The kinetic energy causes the air molecules to move faster and they impact the container walls more frequently and with more force. The kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, so collisions with the walls of the container are now more forceful than they were before. As a result, the pressure of the gas doubles.

What is the final temperature of the solution formed when 1.52 g of NaOH is added to 35.5 g of water at 20.1 °C in a calorimeter
Inessa [10]

Answer : The final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, 31.0^oC

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat produced.

\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}

where,

\Delta H = enthalpy change = -44.5 kJ/mol

q = heat released = ?

m = mass of NaOH = 1.52 g

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH}=\frac{1.52g}{40g/mole}=0.038mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

44.5kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.038mol}

q=1.691kJ

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of solution in the calorimeter.

q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

q = heat produced = 1.691 kJ = 1691 J

m = mass of solution = 1.52 + 35.5 = 37.02 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.18J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature = 20.1^oC

T_2 = final temperature = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

1691J=37.02g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_2-20.1)

T_2=31.0^oC

Thus, the final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, 31.0^oC
