Answer:

36.08%

Explanation:

We are given the overall formula of the compound as: CuSO4•5H2O

Now, atomic mass of the elements are;

Cu = 63.55 g/mol

S = 32.07 g/mol

O = 16 g/mol

H20 = 18.02 g/mol

Now, let's calculate the total mass of the compound:

(63.55 g/mol) + (32.07 g/mol) + 4(16 g/mol) + 5(18.02 g /mol) = 249.72 g/mol

From the above, water in the compound is 5(H20)

Thus, total water atomic mass = 5 × 18.02 = 90.1 g/mol

Thus, percentage of water = (atomic mass of water/total mass of compound) × 100%

Percentage of water = (90.1/249.72) × 100% = 36.08%

The electron configuration of an element is 1s22s22p4. Describe what most likely happens when two atoms of this element move tow
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

When the two atoms move towards each other a compound is formed by sharing electron pairs supplied by each of the atoms to enable them have the stable 8 (octet) valency electrons in their outermost shell

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the given element can be written as follows;

1s²2s²2p⁴

The given electronic configuration is equivalent to that of oxygen, therefore, we have;

The number of electrons in the valence shell = 2 + 4 = 6 electrons

Therefore, each atom requires 2 electrons to complete its 8 (octet) electrons in the outermost shell

When the two atoms move towards each other, they react and combine to form a compound by sharing 4 electrons, 2 from each atom, such that each atom can have an extra 2 electrons in its outermost orbit in the newly formed compound and the stable octet configuration is attained by each of the atoms in the newly formed compound.
