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.

Which statement is always true about a reversible chemical reaction?
Alecsey [184]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option (B):

The products can form reactants, and the reactants can form products.

<h3>Explanation:</h3><h3>Reversible reaction</h3>

A reversible reaction is a reaction where the reactants form products, which react together to give the reactants back.

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

A and B can react to form C and D or, in the reverse reaction, C and D can react to form A and B.

Other options are wrong because off:

(A) Concentration changes with time equilibrium concentration and higher product concentration is also possible.

(C) They may be constant.

(D) Concentration changes with time equilibrium concentration and higher reactant concentration is also possible.

How many grams of water can be formed from the reaction of 8.76 grams of H2 with 10.5 liters of O2 (at STP) according to the bal
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

16.9g of H₂O can be formed

Explanation:

Based on the chemical reaction, 2 moles of H₂ react per mole of O₂. To anser this question we must find limiting reactant converting the mass and volume of each reactant to moles:

<em>Moles H₂ -Molar mass: 2.016g/mol-:</em>

8.76g * (1mol / 2.016g) = 4.345 moles

<em>Moles O₂:</em>

PV = nRT

PV/RT = n

P = 1atm at STP

V = 10.5L

R = 0.082atmL/molK

T = 273.15K at STP

n = 1atm*10.5L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K

n = 0.469 moles of oxygen

For a complete reaction of 4.345 moles moles of hydrogen are required:

4.345 moles H2 * (1mol O2 / 2mol H2) = 2.173 moles of O2 are required. As there are just 0.469 moles, Oxygen is limiting reactant

Now, 1 mole of O2 produce 2 moles of H2O. 0.469 moles will produce:

0.469 moles O₂ * (2 moles H₂O / 1mol O₂) = 0.938 moles H₂O.

The mass is -Molar mas H₂O = 18.01g/mol-:

0.938 moles * (18.01g/mol) =

<h3>16.9g of H₂O can be formed</h3>

How many hydrogen atoms are in 35.0 grams of hydrogen gas? How many hydrogen atoms are in 35.0 grams of hydrogen gas? 4.25 × 102
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 2.12\times 10^{25} atoms of hydrogen are there in

35.0 grams of hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{35.0g}{2g/mol}=17.5moles

1 mole of hydrogen (H_2) = 2\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=12.05\times 10^{23} atoms

17.5 mole of hydrogen (H_2) = \frac{12.05\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 17.5=2.12\times 10^{25} atoms

There are 2.12\times 10^{25} atoms of hydrogen are there in

35.0 grams of hydrogen gas.
