Answer:

Electronic configuration of Ga³⁺:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s⁰ 3d¹⁰ 4p⁰

Explanation:

Gallium is present in group 13.

It has 3 valance electrons.

Electronic configuration:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p¹

There are two possibilities of gallium to form cation.

By removing one 4p electron to form Ga +1 cation.

By removing two 4s electrons and one 4p to form Ga +3 cation.

Gallium is preset in group thirteen that's why common oxidation state is +3.

Electronic configuration of Ga⁺:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁰

Electronic configuration of Ga³⁺:

Ga = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s⁰ 3d¹⁰ 4p⁰

what is the number of moles formed when 20.50g of Copper 2 oxide completely react with hydrogen gas.

CaHeK987 [17]

CuO(aq) + H2(g) → H2O(l) + Cu(s)

CuO= 64 + 16= 80g

1 mole of CuO → 1 mole of Cu

80g of CuO → 1 mole of Cu

20.50g of CuO → y

y= 20.50/80= 0.26mole.

What do you think 1,5-pentanedithiol C5H12S would smell like

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

rotten egg smell

Explanation:

1,5-pentanedithiol ( C₅H₁₂S ) -

The compound have thiol as the functional group , and hence will show some characteristics of thiol group ,

The thiol group is a -SH group , they are also called mercaptan functional group .

The thiol group has a strong characteristic smell of rotten egg .

And hence , the compound 1,5-pentanedithiol ( C₅H₁₂S ) can easily be distinguished by its rotten egg smell .

A copper cylinder, 12.0 cm in radius, is 44.9 cm long. If the density of copper is 8.90 g/cm^3, calculate the mass in grans of t

zlopas [31]

Answer:

we use: V = pi*(r^2)*h

V = 3.14*(12.0cm^2)*44.0 cm

V = 19895.04 cm^3

Therefore, mass = (8.90g/cm^3) * (19895.04 cm^3) = 177065.856 g
