Answer:

A. One unpaired electron

B. 5 unpaired electrons

Explanation:

In A ,Fe is in +3 oxidation state and Electronic configuration- [Ar]3d5

And NO2 is a strong field ligand hence it causes pairing in t2g orbitals and results one unpaired electron in dZX orbital.

In B, also Fe is in +3 oxidation state but F is weak field ligand hence causes no pairing of Electrons hence it results 5 unpaired electrons with electronic configuration t2g^3 eg^2

32 gm of O2 to mole of O2

lana [24]

Molar mass of O2:-

$\\ \rm\longmapsto 2(16u)=32g/mol$

Now

$\boxed{\sf No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{Given\:Mass}{Molar\:Mass}}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=\dfrac{32}{32}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto No\:of\;moles=1mol$

How many atoms are in 3 moles of nitrogen

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:1 mol of Mg(NO3)2 contains 6.022*10^23 molecules

3 mol Mg(NO3)2 contains 3*6.022*10^23 = 1.81*10^24 molecules

Each Mg(NO3)2 molecule contains 2 N atoms

Number of N atoms = 2*1.81*10^24 = 3.62*10^24 N atoms.
