There are 6 valence electrons in SO4^2
Answer: Neon
Explanation: The second period involves elements with n =2 i.e. the elements have electrons in second shell. The element with filled s and p orbitals will have outer electronic configuration
Thus the element with filled orbital will be a noble gas. It will have total of 10 electrons and the element will be neon with complete outer electronic configuration will be:
Answer: 121.95587 g/mol
Explanation:
- The atomic mass of aluminum is 26.98154 g/mol.
- The atomic mass of phosphorous is 30.97673 g/mol.
- The atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 g/mol.
Therefore, the molecular mass is:
<span>The reason why it is easiest to assume the first step is slow is because that would be your rate determining step and would give you the rate law given in the problem. So you take the two compounds from the rate law given and put them as your two reactants in your first step:
NO2 + F2 ---> NO2F + F (all gases)
Your next step needs to make sense for your overall reaction. And you also need to have an intermediate which in this case will be F:
F + NO2 ---> NO2F (again all gases) This is the fast step.
Your intermediate cancels out to give you your overall equation:
2NO2 + F2 ---> 2NO2F (all gases)</span>
