Answer:

The answer to your question is Argon

Explanation:

Electron configuration given 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

To find the element whose electron configuration is given, we can do it by two methods.

Number 1. Sum all the exponents the result will give you the atomic number of the element.

2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18

The element with an atomic number of 18 is Argon.

Number 2. Look at the last terms of the electronic configuration

3s² 3p⁶

Number three indicates that this element is in the third period in the periodic table.

Sum the exponents 2 + 6 = 8

Number 8 indicates that this element is the number 8 of that period without considering the transition elements.

The element with these characteristics is Argon.

How does a concave lens differ from a convex lens? A) A convex lens is another way to describe a plane mirror; a concave lens is

elixir [45]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C) A convex lens has a thick center and thin edges; a concave lens has a thin center and thicker edges.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Convex lens refers to the lens which merges the light rays at a particular point, that travels through it, while a concave lens can be identified as the lens which disperses the light rays around, that hits the lenses.
A convex lens is thicker at the center, as compared to its edges, while a concave lens is thinner at the center as compared to its edges.
A concave lens is thicker at the edges than in the middle and spreads light rays apart producing an image smaller than the actual object. A convex lens on the other hand, is thinner at the edges and thicker towards the center, that is they are bent towards a central point.

What is the final volume of NaOH solution prepared from 100.0 mL of 0.500 M NaOH if you wanted the final concentration to be 0.1

suter [353]

Answer:

The final volume of NaOH solution is 30ml

Explanation:

We all know that

V1S1 = V2S2

or V1= V2S2÷S1

or V1= V2×S2×1/S1

or V1=100×0.15×1/0.50

V1= 30

∴30 ml NaOH solution is required to prepare 0.15 M from 100ml 0.50 M NaOH solution.

At an elevated temperature, Kp=4.2 x 10^-9 for the reaction 2HBr (g)---> +H2(g) + Br2 (g). If the initial partial pressures o

Damm [24]

Answer : The partial pressure of $H_2$ at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation :

The partial pressure of $HBr$ = $1.0\times 10^{-2}atm$

The partial pressure of $H_2$ = $2.0\times 10^{-4}atm$

The partial pressure of $Br_2$ = $2.0\times 10^{-4}atm$

$K_p=4.2\times 10^{-9}$

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$2HBr(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+Br_2(g)$

Initial pressure 1.0×10⁻² 2.0×10⁻⁴ 2.0×10⁻⁴

At eqm. (1.0×10⁻²-2p) (2.0×10⁻⁴+p) (2.0×10⁻⁴+p)

The expression of equilibrium constant $K_p$ for the reaction will be:

$K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2})(p_{Br_2})}{(p_{HBr})^2}$

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

$4.2\times 10^{-9}=\frac{(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)(2.0\times 10^{-4}+p)}{(1.0\times 10^{-2}-2p)^2}$

$p=-1.99\times 10^{-4}$

The partial pressure of $H_2$ at equilibrium = (2.0×10⁻⁴+(-1.99×10⁻⁴) )= 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Therefore, the partial pressure of $H_2$ at equilibrium is, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶

Imagine that you are outside in the cold. Your nose starts to tingle and hurt. What might you be experiencing?

KATRIN_1 [288]

D. Being cold temperatures can result in a cold nose. With prolonged exposure The body will start to lose heat faster than it can generate it, this is the result of hypothermia.
