We use the given masses of the reactants to calculate the moles of Mn and Cl. Empirical formula represents the simplest mole ratio of atoms present in a compound.

Moles of Mn = 12.99 g Mn * \frac{1 mol Mn}{54.94 g Mn} = 0.236 mol Mn

Moles of Cl = 25.16 g Cl_{2} *\frac{1 mol Cl_{2}}{70.91 g Cl_{2}} * \frac{2 mol Cl}{1 mol Cl_{2}} = 0.710 mol Cl

Simplest mole ratio: Mn_{\frac{0.236}{0.236}}Cl_{\frac{0.710}{0.236}}

So the empirical formula is MnCl_{3}

Which statement best explains why calcium has a larger atomic radius than magnesium? A. Calcium has a stronger nuclear charge th
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. calcium has electrons in more energy levels than magnesium

Explanation:

atoms are made of three types of subatomic particles - electrons, protons and neutrons.

Neutrons and protons reside in the nucleus of the atom and electrons reside in energy shells

electronic configuration for both Ca and Mg are as follows

Mg - 2,8,2

Ca - 2,8,8,2

outermost energy shell of Mg with electrons is the third energy level

whereas outermost energy shell of Ca with electrons is the fourth energy shell

therefore Ca has a larger atomic radius than Mg as it has one more energy shell than Mg in which electrons reside

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of silicon for which a=29? Enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.G., 42he).
quester [9]

The mass number is the summation of number of proton and neutron present in a nucleus of an atom. For the neutral atom the number of positive charge (number of proton) must be equal to the number of electrons. The number of electrons present in an atom is the atomic number of the atom. The standard way to express the mass number (a) and atomic number (m) of a atom (say X) is x^{a}_{m}. Now for silicon number of electron or atomic number is 14. And the mass number (a) given 29. Thus the expression nucleus of silicon will be Si^{29}_{14}
