The correct option is "Cd²⁺".

When an element achieves pseudo noble gas configuration<span> it means it has 18 </span>electrons<span> in the highest energy level instead of 8.

The electronic configuration of cadmium is:
</span><span>1<span>s</span></span>² <span>2<span>s</span></span>² <span>2<span>p</span></span>⁶ <span>3<span>s</span></span>² <span>3<span>p</span></span>⁶ <span>4<span>s</span></span>² <span>3<span>d</span></span>¹⁰ <span>4<span>p</span></span>⁶ <span>5<span>s</span></span>² <span>4<span>d<span>1</span></span></span>¹⁰<span><span><span>
</span></span></span>

and the electron configuration of <span>C<span>d</span></span>²⁺ is

<span>1<span>s</span></span>² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰

If 1.76 g of an ideal gas occupy 1.0 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP), what is the molar mass of the gas?
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Whenever you see molar masses in gas law questions, more often than not density will be involved. This question is no different. To solve this, however, we will first need to play with the combined ideal gas equation PV=nRT to make it work for density and molar mass. The derivation is simple but for the sake of time and space, I will skip it. Hence, just take my word for it that you will end up with the equation:M=dRTPM = molar mass (g/mol)d = density (g/L)R = Ideal Gas Constant (≈0.0821atm⋅Lmol⋅K) T = Temperature (In Kelvin) P = Pressure (atm)As an aside, note that because calculations with this equation involve molar mass, this is the only variation of the ideal gas law in which the identity of the gas plays a role in your calculations. Just something to take note of. Back to the problem: Now, looking back at what we're given, we will need to make some unit conversions to ensure everything matches the dimensions required by the equation:T=35oC+273.15= 308.15 KV=300mL⋅1000mL1L= 0.300 LP=789mmHg⋅1atm760mmHg= 1.038 atmSo, we have almost everything we need to simply plug into the equation. The last thing we need is density. How do we find density? Notice we're given the mass of the sample (0.622 g). All we need to do is divide this by volume, and we have density:d=0.622g0.300L= 2.073 g/LNow, we can plug in everything. When you punch the numbers into your calculator, however, make sure you use the stored values you got from the actual conversions, and not the rounded ones. This will help you ensure accuracy.M=dRTP=(2.073)(0.0821)(308.15)1.038= 51 g/molRounded to 2 significant figuresNow if you were asked to identify which element this is based on your calculation, your best bet would probably be Vandium (molar mass 50.94 g/mol). Hope that helped :)

While working near a radioactive mine, workers usually wear heavy plastic suits. These suits protect them from all but
Vaselesa [24]
The appropriate response is gamma radiation. Alpha particles can be halted via air. UV radiation can be halted by a typical layer of clothing.Beta particles can be ceased by the thick plastic suit. Just gamma radiation can enter the substantial suit. It must be halted by thick dividers of lead or cement.
