A sodium atom has the electron configuration of [ 2,8,1 ] before bonding with a chlorine atom which has the electron configuration of [ 2,8,7 ].

because sodium becomes a one plus ion ( +1 ), it must lose an electron to become stable therefore when bonded the electron configuration becomes [ 2,8 ] this is the same as the noble gas, Neon [ 2,8 ].

because chlorine becomes a minus one ion ( -1 ), it must gain an electron to become stable therefore when boded the electron configuration becomes [ 2,8,8 ] this is the same as the noble gas, Argon [ 2,8,8 ].

hope this helps :)

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

As long as it is a blank solution of the reagent, the Absorbance will be 0 regardless of the path length.

Explanation:

Absorbance of light by a reagent of concentration c, is given as

A = εcl

A = Absorbance

ε = molar absorptivity

c = concentration of reagent.

l = length of light path or length of the solution the light passes through.

So, if all.other factors are held constant, If a sample for spectrophotometric analysis is placed in a 10-cm cell, the absorbance will be 10 times greater than the absorbance in a 1-cm cell.

But the reagent blank solution is called a blank solution because it lacks the given reagent. A blank solution does not contain detectable amounts of the reagent under consideration. That is, the concentration of reagent in the blank solution is 0.

Hence, the Absorbance is subsequently 0. And increasing or decreasing the path length of light will not change anything. As long as it is a blank solution of the reagent, the Absorbance will be 0 regardless of the path length.

Hope this Helps!!!

Niobium-91 has a half-life of 680 years. After 2,040 years, how much niobium-91 will remain from a 300.0-g sample? 3 g 18.75 g 3
Vadim26 [7]
Amount of Niobium-91 initially
= 300/91 =3.2967mol
2040 years = 3 ×680 = 3 half-lives
therefore, amount left = 0.4121mol
mass of Niobium-91 remaining = 0.4121 ×91 =37.5g

Evgesh-ka [11]

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RETRIEVE A BOTTLE OF SULFATE BECAUSE SULFATE DOES NOT EXIST AS A DISTINCT CHEMICAL COMPOUND.

Sulphate is a polyatomic ion. A polyatomic ions refers to group of atoms that carry charges. Sulfate carries a charge of +2. Sulfate is a very reactive ion, thus, it can not be found existing on its own, it is always found in combination with other elements, such elements include H2SO4 and CaSO4.
