Answer: The outermost valence electron enters the p orbital.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are defined as the electrons which are present in outer most orbital of an atom.

Sulfur is the 16th element of the periodic table having 16 electrons.

Electronic configuration of sulfur atom is $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4$

The number of valence electrons are 2 + 4 = 6

These 6 electrons enter s-orbital and p-orbital but the outermost valence electron will enter the p-orbital.

Hence, the outermost valence electron enters p orbital.

Which statement describes the change that occurs during the reaction of tin with lead(II) nitrate? A. Tin atoms give electrons t

timama [110]

Answer is: D. Tin atoms give electrons to lead(II) ions and are oxidized to tin(II) ions.
Chemical reaction: Sn⁰ + Pb²⁺ → Sn²⁺ + Pb.
Tin atom (oxidation number 0) give two electrons to led ions, oxidation number of tin is greater now (oxidation number +2).
Oxidation is loss of electrons.

A fuel was burned for 5 min, increasing the temperature of 10.0 g of water with a density of 1.00 g/ml by 9.0 oC. The fuel relea

jekas [21]

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

Let suppose that water experiments an entirely sensible heating. Hence, the heat released by the fuel is equal to the heat absorbed by the water because of principle of energy conservation. The heat released by the fuel is expressed by the following formula:

$Q = m\cdot c \cdot \Delta T$ (1)

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the sample, in grams.
$c$ - Specific heat of water, in calories per gram-degree Celsius.
$\Delta T$ - Temperature change, in degrees Celsius.

If we know that $m = 10\,g$ , $c = 1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ and $\Delta T = 9\,^{\circ}C$ , then the heat released by the fuel is:

$Q = (10\,g)\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (9\,^{\circ}C)$

The fuel released 90 calories of heat.

How many moles of potassium are in 78.20 g?

Fynjy0 [20]

The answer to this question would be: 2 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has.
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 28.2 mL of a 0.355 M H2SO4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-mL sample of the

Verdich [7]

Answer:

[NaOH} = 0.4 M

Explanation:

In a reaction of neutralization, we determine the equivalence point of the titration. In this case, we have a strong base and a strong acid.

(H₂SO₄, is considered strong, but the first deprotonation is weak)

2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

As we have 2 protons in the acid, we need 2 OH⁻ from the base to form 2 molecules of water.

In the equivalence point we know mmoles of base = mmoles of acid

Let's finish the excersise with the formula

25 mL . M NaOH = 28.2 mL . 0.355M

M NaOH = (28.2 mL . 0.355M) / 25 mL → 0.400
