An atom has the following electron configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4 . How many valence electrons does this Atom have

Chemistry
1 answer:
yawa3891 [41]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

6

Explanation:

This atom is sulfur (if the electrons are equal to the protons/not an ion). You can tell the number of valence electrons by looking at the individual shell. The first shell (1s) can only hold 2 electrons. The second shell (2s and 2p) can hold 8 electrons. The third shell (3s and 3p), which is the valence shell, only has 6 out of its possible 8 electrons, so this atom has 6 valence electrons.

A 283.3-g sample of X2(g) has a volume of 30 L at 3.2 atm and 27 'C. What is element X?
professor190 [17]

we find the number of moles with the formula

pV=nRT

27C=300k

3.2*30=n*0.082*300

n=96/24.6=3.9 moles

we have the mass ant the number of moles so we can calculate the molar mass

283.3/3.9=72.64g/moles

that means X's mass is 72.64/2=36.3 so the element is Kr(Kriptonium)

One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.
Dafna1 [17]

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.
