Graphite has strong bonds which gives it high boiling and melting points. With a high boiling point and melting points graphite can not melt easily, and thus is why it is preferred in hot situations such as an industrial kiln.

What element does the following electron configuration represent?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Rubidium (Rb).

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Electronic configuration => 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p⁶5s¹

Name of element =?

To know the name of the element with the above electronic configuration, we shall determine the atomic number of the element. This can be obtained as follow:

Number of electrons = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 10 + 6 + 1

Number of electrons = 37

Next, we shall determine the number of protons. This can be obtained as follow:

From the question given above, the element has no charge. Hence the element contains equal numbers of protons and electrons.

Number of electrons = 37

Number of protons = number of electrons = 37

Next, we shall determine the atomic number. This can be obtained as follow:

The atomic number of an element is simply defined as the number of protons present in the atom of the element. Thus,

Atomic number = proton number

Proton is = 37

Therefore,

Atomic number = 37

Finally, we shall determine the name of the element by comparing the atomic number of those in the periodic table.

Thus, the element with the above electronic configuration is Rubidium (Rb) since no two elements have the same atomic number

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq) , as described b
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

0.676 grams of manganese (IV) oxide should be added.

Explanation:

Moles of chlorine gas = n

Volume of the chlorine gas = V = 205 mL = 0.205 L

Pressure of the chlorine gas = 705 Torr = \frac{705}{760}atm=0.928 atm

1 atm = 760 Torr

Temperature of the chlorine gas = T = 25°C = 25 + 273 K = 298 K

PV=nRT ( ideal gs equation)

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.928 atm\times 0.205 L}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298 K}=0.00777 mol

MnO_2(s)+4HCl(aq)\rightarrow MnCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)+Cl_2(g)

According to reaction, 1 mole of chlorine gas is obtained from  1 mole of manganese(IV) oxide,then 0.00777 moles of chlorine gas will be obtained from :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.00777 mol=0.00777 mol of manganese (IV) oxide

Mass of 0.00777 moles of manganese (IV) oxide:

0.00777 mol × 87 g/mol = 0.676 g

0.676 grams of manganese (IV) oxide should be added.
