In which of the following atoms are valence electrons in the lowest average potential energy states?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrej [43]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C) F

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom and have the highest energy level of an atom whereas electrons at ground state or lower orbitals have less potential energy.

This is so because <u>orbitals nearby nucleus are strongly bonded with the atomic nucleus and have less energy than an outermost shell.</u>

So, the potential energy states of an atom depend on the number of orbitals. In the given options fluorine with atomic number 9 has less number of orbitals that is 2 orbitals and valence electrons will be present in second orbitals, so fluorine will have the lowest average potential energy states.

Hence, the correct option is "C) F".

.500 mol of br2 and .500 mol of cl2 are placed in a .500L flask and allowed to reach equilibrium. at equilibrium the flask was f
Tasya [4]

Answer : The value of K_c for the given reaction is, 0.36

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

Br_2(aq)+Cl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons 2BrCl(aq)

The expression of K_c will be,

K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}

First we have to calculate the concentration of Br_2,Cl_2\text{ and }BrCl.

\text{Concentration of }Br_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M

\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.500mol}{0.500L}=1M

\text{Concentration of }BrCl=\frac{Moles}{Volume}=\frac{0.300mol}{0.500L}=0.6M

Now we have to calculate the value of K_c for the given reaction.

K_c=\frac{[BrCl]^2}{[Br_2][Cl_2]}

K_c=\frac{(0.6)^2}{(1)\times (1)}

K_c=0.36

Therefore, the value of K_c for the given reaction is, 0.36

Bicarbonate concentrate mixers may have a which are replaced on a routine basic.
Sidana [21]

Answer: True the bicarbonate mixture can help save time and few routine.

Explanation:

For the purpose of making dialysate for hemodialysis patient therapies a bicarbonate mixing and delivering systems designed to prepare a liquid sodium bicarbonate formulation comes in handy.

Certain systems like the SDS unit also allow for the transfer and distribution of acid concentrate solutions. We also provide stand-alone acid concentrate delivery systems using a variety of holding tanks and delivery methods. 

A challenge for hemodialysis providers is to properly provide bicarbonate solution in a cost effective manner. Preparation and disinfection can be time-consuming and labor intensive.

Bicarbonate however can corrode certain metals and painted surfaces leaving your preparation area encrusted and grimy.

Furthermore, if not mixed properly, bicarbonate can negatively affect the dialysate solution.

The answer to the above is true the bicarbonate mixture can help save time and few routine.

On July 4, 2020, America turned 7.69 x 10^9
iogann1982 [59]

America's age = 243.85 years

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

When converting units, list and multiply all the units until you find the unit you want

Time unit conversion

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 3600 s

7.69 x 10⁹ seconds to years :

\tt =7.69\times 10^9~s\times \dfrac{1`hour}{3600~s}\times \dfrac{1~day}{24~hours}\times \dfrac{1~years}{365~days}\\\\=\dfrac{7.69\times 10^9}{3600\times 24\times 365}\\\\=\boxed{\bold{243.85~years}}
