Answer: 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

Explanation: The element with atomic number 20 consists 20 electrons and  as atomic number is specific to an element, atomic number is of element calcium.

The nearest noble gas to calcium is argon with 18 electrons with configuartion 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6 according to afbau's rule, in which orbitals are arranged in order of increasing energies.

Thus electronic configuartion of calcium in terms of noble gas configuration is:

Ca:20:[Ar]4s^2

Hello can you please help me to solve above fill in the blank questions ​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

C2H5OH is a formula of ethyl alchol or ethanol.

alkenes are characterisized by carbon-carbon double bond.

burning is an example of exothermic reaction

atomic number of element is x the symbol of its ion is +1 bcz it will lose one electron

if temperature increases then rate of chemical reaction increases

Explanation:

i hope this will help you :)

a chemist measured 75.00g of HCL into a volumetric flask and added water until the volume was 1.000 L. what is the molarity of t
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: M = 2.08 M

Explanation: Molarity is expressed as the number of moles per unit volume in liters. First convert the mass of HCl to moles using its molar mass. Then substitute the variables to the formula for molarity.

75.00 g HCl x 1 mole HCl / 36 g HCl

= 2.08 moles HCl

For Molarity.

M = n / L

= 2.08 moles HCl / 1.000 L

= 2.08 M

1. In what ways does an organism’s mode of reproduction impact the diversity of its offspring? (Asexual vs. Sexual)
Katen [24]

Answer:

<u>Asexual reproduction</u> = An exact copy of the reproducer

<u>Sexual reproduction</u> = Genetic variation into the organism if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is transmitted to offspring.

Explanation:

Example of Asexual Reproduction diversity - A red apple has apple seeds. You plant the red apple seeds, and it grows up to be no different than the apple before it.

Sexual reproduction Example of diversity -Two parents are of different ethnicities. The female gets pregnant, but because of the different genetics from both of the parents, the child will inherit their genetics + some random mutation in the DNA.  

This impacts the diversity of the offspring because it can be an exact copy of the reproducer (Asexual), or significantly different with some similarities if the mode of reproduction was sexual.

I really hope this helps you! Please tell me if it did or not. Good luck with your assignment/exam/quiz!

1. What is the best means to separate ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride? And a
ozzi

1. A mixture of ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride should be separated by sublimation.

2. A mixture of zinc chloride and silver chloride should be separated through crystallization.

<h3>What is a separation technique?</h3>

A separation technique can be defined as a technique that is typically used to separate or convert two (2) or more mixture and solution of chemical substances into distinct product such as chemical compounds or elements.

<h3>The types of separation technique.</h3>

In Chemistry, there are various types of separation technique used for the separation of mixtures or solutions and these include:

  • Crystallization
  • Fractional distillation
  • Filtration
  • Evaporation
  • Sublimation
  • Decantation
  • Simple distillation
  • Chromatography

In this scenario, the most effective and efficient means to separate a mixture of ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride is by sublimation from solid to gas state.

On the other hand, the best means to separate a mixture of zinc chloride and silver chloride is through crystallization.
