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.

Coal containing 15.0% H2O, 2.0% S and 83.0% C by mass is burnt with the stoichiometric amount of air in a furnace. What is the m
devlian [24]

Answer:

This is a coal combustion process and we will assume

Inlet coal amount = 100kg

It means that there are

15kg of H2O, 2kg of Sulphur and 83kg of Carbon

Now to find the mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust?

Molar mass of S = 32kg/kmol

Initial moles n  of S = 2/32 = 0.0625kmols

Reaction:  S + O₂ = SO₂

That is 1 mole of S reacts with 1 mole of O₂ to give 1 mole of SO₂

Then, it means for 0.0625 kmoles of S, we will have 0.0625 kmole of SO2 coming out of the exhaust

The mole fraction of SO2(g) in the exhaust=0.0625kmols
