Answer:

Explanation:

The Electronic Configuration of the elements is the arrangement of all electrons of an element in energy levels and sub-levels (orbitals).  

There are 7 energy levels, numbered from 1 to 7, and in which electrons are distributed, logically in order according to their energy level. Electrons with less energy will be spinning at level 1. Each level is divided into sub-levels. These sub-levels into which each level is divided can be up to 4. These 4 sub-levels are called: s, p, d, f. In the sub-level s there can only be a maximum of 2 electrons, in p there can be a maximum of 6 electrons, in the sub-level d 10 electrons and finally in the sub-level f there can be a maximum of 14 electrons.

In level 1 there is only one sub-level, which will be the s. In level 2 there are 2 sub-levels, the s and the p. At level 3 there are 3 sub-levels s, p and d. And at level 4 there are 4 sub-levels, the s, the p, the d and the f.

Aufbau's principle is a principle of atomic physics, which explains how electrons are accommodated in their orbits around the nucleus of the atom. This principle states that the filling of these orbitals occurs in increasing order of energy, that is, from the orbitals of lower energy to those of higher energy.

The simplest of the sub-levels is 1s. If you fill the 1s you can start filling the 2s. After the 2s sub-level is satisfied, the 2p can begin to fill and so on. The order is:

1s^{2} 2s^{2} 2p^{6} 3s^{2} 3p^{6} 4s^{2} 3d^{10} 4p^{6}5s^{2}  4d^{10} 5p^{6}6s^{2} 4f^{14} 5d^{10}6p^{6}7s^{2}5f^{14}6d^{10}7p^{6}

In this way, taking into account the atomic number Z of the element (which represents the number of protons of the element, and in a neutral atom it also indicates the number of electrons), the electrons that it has in the orbitals will be placed following the previously established.

For example, for hydrogen, whose atomic number is Z = 1, its electronic configuration would be: 1 s1. Remember that the number 1 that precedes the representative letter of the orbital indicates the level of energy where the electron is located, the letter s indicates the type of orbital where the electron is located, and the exponent 1 indicates the number of electrons that are located in said orbital.

As the Z number of each element increases, the electrons will gradually occupy the orbitals located at the lowest energy levels.

Use the equation to determine what mass of FeS must react to form 326 g of FeCl2.
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

We need 226 grams of FeS

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of FeCl2 = 326 grams

Molar mass FeCl2 = 126.75 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

FeS + 2 HCl → H2S + FeCl2

Step 3: Calculate moles FeCl2

Moles FeCl2 = 326 grams / 126.75 grams

Moles FeCl2 = 2.57 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles FeS needed

For 1 mol H2S and 1 mol FeCl2 produced, we need 1 mol FeS and 2 moles HCl

For 2.57 moles FeCl2 we need 2.57 moles FeS

Step 5: Calculate mass FeS

Mass FeS = 2.57 moles * 87.92 g/mol

Mass FeS = 226 grams FeS

We need 226 grams of FeS

For the reaction, Cl2 + 2KBr --> 2KCl + Br2, how many moles of potassium chloride, KCl, are produced from 102g of potassium b
Sedaia [141]

Solution :

From the balanced chemical equation, we can say that 1 moles of KBr will produce 1 moles of KCl .

Moles of KBr in 102 g of potassium bromide.

n = 102/119.002

n = 0.86 mole.

So, number of miles of KCl produced are also 0.86 mole.

Mass of KCl produced :

m = 0.86 \times Molar \  mass \ of \  KCl\\\\m = 0.86 \times 74.5 \ gram \\\\m = 64.07\  gram

Hence, this is the required solution.
