Can a solution of Sn(NO3)2 be stored in an aluminum container?

1 answer:

3 0

I believe a solution of Sn(NO3)2 can not be stored in an aluminium container because Aluminium is higher in the reactivity series compared to Tin (Sn). Therefore, Aluminium is more reactive than Tin and hence aluminium will displace Tin from its salt forming Aluminium nitrate and Tin metal. Thus storing Tin nitrate in an aluminium container will cause the "eating away' of the container.

The reactivity of metals increases as you move left in a period and as you move down in a group, so Marie needs to know the period and group of the element inside each box. Boxes that show locations in groups 1 or 2 or in period 8 contain the most reactive elements.

How many different principal quantum numbers can be found in the ground-state electron configuration of nickel?A) 2.B) 3.C) 4.D)

Naddik [55]

Answer:

C) 4.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the electron configuration of nickel at its ground-state, considering 28 as its atomic number and the number of electrons it has in one atom, is:

$Ni^{28}:1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^6,4s^2,3d^8$

We can see it has four energy levels, 1, 2, 3 and 4, which are related to the following principal quantum number, that describes the energy of an electron in the atom and its most probable distance with respect to the nucleus.

Therefore, nickel has C) 4 different principal quantum numbers.

Best regards!
