Answer:

(a) Cr²⁺: 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 3d⁴; (b) eight  

Explanation:

(a) Electron configuration of Cr

(i). Locate chromium in the Periodic Table.

It's Element 24, so  in Period 4, Group 3.

(ii). Write its electron configuration

Remember that Cr is one of those exceptions to the Aufbau principle.

Instead of the predicted electron configuration of [Ar] 4s²3d⁴, we get the configuration [Ar] 4s3d⁵.

The reason is that this this configuration minimizes electron repulsion.

(b) Write the electron configuration for Cr²⁺.

Now, we must remove two electrons from a chromium atom.

The electron in the 4s orbital is removed first, because this orbital is further from the nucleus, making electrons easier to remove.

So, we remove the 4s electron, and  then a 3d electron.

The electron configuration of Cr²⁺ is

[Ar]3d⁴ or 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶ 3d⁴

(c). Electrons with n + l = 3

The orbitals with n + l = 3 are those covered by the third arrow down in the order of orbital energies:

2p (n = 2, l = 1) and 3s (n = 3, l = 0)

The 2p orbitals can hold six electrons, and the 3s orbital can hold two.

Both subshells are filled in a Cr²⁺ ion, so there are eight electrons

with n+ l = 3.

4. Imagine you have a radioactive sample containing both Virtualium and decayed atoms of Virtualium. After analysis, you find it
Romashka [77]

My sample would be 4000 years old because on my graph, I had about 9 Virtualium left at trial 4 so I am guessing that it would be 4000 years old.

What needs to happen for the equation CH4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O to be balanced?
worty [1.4K]
B. This is because the Hydrogen and Oxygen need balanced out.

Current-

C-1            |        C-1
H-4            |         H-2
O-2            |         O-3


Adding a coefficient of 2 before oxygen in the reactants and H2O in the products would balance this equation

<span>CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O</span>
C-1            |        C-1
H-4            |         H-4
O-4            |        O-4

for the reaction 2Fe + O2 = 2FeO, how many grams of iron oxide are produced from 8.00 mol of iron? when o2 is an excess
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

2Fe + O₂ -------------------> 2FeO

8 mol Fe produce

8 mol Fe * 2 mol FeO / 2 mol Fe = 8 mol FeO

Mass of FeO = 8 mol FeO * 71.85 g/mol = 574.8 grams FeO

Explanation:

Having 8 mol of Iron means 8 moles of iron oxide can be produced. Each mole of iron oxide has a molecular weight of 71.85 grams. Therefore, 8 moles of iron oxide should weight 574.8 grams.
