Two elements that have the same ground-state valence shell configuration of ns 2 np 2 are

Chemistry
1 answer:
kvv77 [185]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

carbon and silicon

Explanation:

Various groups of elements in the periodic table have different outermost shell electron configurations. Actually, elements are classified into groups on the basis of the number of electrons on the outermost shell of those elements. All elements with the same number of electrons on their outermost shell belong to the same group in the periodic table.

For elements in group 14, they all have four electrons on their outermost shell. Their general outer electron configuration is ns2 np2 as shown in the question. Two prominent members of this group are carbon and silicon. This ns2 np2 is the ground state outer electron configuration of all group 14 elements in the periodic table.

How many atoms are in 8.28 moles of aluminum?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 8.28 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 8.28 moles of Al:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³  atoms of Al

8.28 mol×6.022 × 10²³  atoms / 1mol

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

Tap water at room temperature has a pH of 7.2 and carbonate alkalinity of 200 mg/L (= 40 mmol/L). What is the concentration of b
UNO [17]

Answer:

the concentration of bicarbonate is <em>[HCO₃⁻] = 0,03996 M </em>and carbonate is <em>[CO₃²⁻] = 3,56x10⁻⁵ M.</em>

Explanation:

Carbonate-bicarbonate is:

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ CO₃²⁻ + H⁺ With pka = 10,25

Using Henderson-Hasselbalach formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀\frac{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HCO_{3}^-]}

7,2 = 10,25 + log₁₀\frac{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HCO_{3}^-]}

8,91x10⁻⁴ = \frac{[CO_{3}^{2-}]}{[HCO_{3}^-]} <em>(1)</em>

Also:

0,040 M = [CO₃²⁻] + [HCO₃⁻] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in 1:

<em>[HCO₃⁻] = 0,03996 M</em>

Thus:

<em>[CO₃²⁻] = 3,56x10⁻⁵ M</em>

I hope it helps.
