Andreas93 [3]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

Three orbitals

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of carbon is given as follows;

1s²2s²2p²

Therefore, out of the six electrons of the carbon atoms, 4 fill the 1s and 2s orbitals with 2 electrons each, while the two remaining electrons are situated in the 2p orbital, with the electrons in the 2p orbital will remain unpaired such that they will have similar quantum numbers in accordance with Pauli exclusion principle.

Consider two different ions. The anion has a valence of -2. The cation has a valence of +2. The two ions are separated by a dist

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Force of attraction = 35.96 $\times 10^{27}$ N

Explanation:

Given: charge on anion = -2

Charge on cation = +2

Distance = 1 nm = $10^{-9}$ m

To calculate: Force of attraction.

Solution: The force of attraction is calculated by using equation,

$F = \dfrac{k \times q_1 q_2}{ \r^2}$ ---(1)

where, q represents the charge and the subscripts 1 and 2 represents cation and anion.

k = $8.99 \times 10^9 \ Nm^{2}C^{-2}$

F = force of attraction

r = distance between ions.

Substituting all the values in the equation (1) the equation becomes

$F = \dfrac{8.99 \times 10^9 \times 2 \times 2}{ \left ( 10^-9 \right )^2 }$

Force of attraction = 35.96 $\times 10^{27}$ N

How many liters of space will 7.80 moles of methane gas (CH4) occupy at STP

Alchen [17]

Answer:

V CH4(g) = 190.6 L

Explanation:

assuming ideal gas:

PV = RTn

∴ STP: T =298 K and P = 1 atm

∴ R = 0.082 atm.L/K.mol

∴ moles (n) = 7.80 mol CH4(g)

∴ Volume CH4(g) = ?

⇒ V = RTn/P

⇒ V CH4(g) = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)×(298 K)×(7.80 mol)) / (1 atm)

⇒ V CH4(g) = 190.6 L

What is the molar concentration of the acid if 35.18 mL of hydrochloric acid was required to neutralize 0.745 g of ALUMINUM hydr

Makovka662 [10]

The mass number of aluminium hydroxide is 78 thus, the number of moles in 0.745 g is:

no. of moles= mass/ RFM

= 0.745/78

=0.00955moles

Therefore the 0.00955 moles should be in the 35.18 ml

therefore 1000ml of the solution will have:

(0.00955ml×1000ml)/35.18

=0.2715moles

The solution will be 0.27M hydrochloric acid
