Answer: The given transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons are as follows.

Mn^{4+} > V^{3+} = Ni^{2+} > Fe^{3+} > Cu^{+}

Explanation:

In atomic orbitals, the distribution of electrons of an atom is called electronic configuration.

The electronic configuration in terms of noble gases for the given elements are as follows.

  • Atomic number of Fe is 26.

Fe^{3+} - [Ar] 3d^{5}

So, there is only 1 unpaired electron present in Fe^{3+}.

  • Atomic number of Mn is 25.

Mn^{4+} - [Ar]3d^{3}

So, there are only 3 unpaired electrons present in Mn^{4+}.

  • Atomic number of V is 23.

V^{3+} - [Ar] 3d^{2}

So, there are only 2 unpaired electrons present in V^{3+}.

  • Atomic number of Ni is 28.

Ni^{2+} - [Ar] 3d^{8}

So, there will be 2 unpaired electrons present in Ni^{2+}.

  • Atomic number of Cu is 29.

Cu^{+} - [Ar] 3d^{10}

So, there is no unpaired electron present in Cu^{+}.

Therefore, given transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons are as follows.

Mn^{4+} > V^{3+} = Ni^{2+} > Fe^{3+} > Cu^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that given transition metal ions in order of decreasing number of unpaired electrons are as follows.

Mn^{4+} > V^{3+} = Ni^{2+} > Fe^{3+} > Cu^{+}

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 180 mg sample. Find the mass that remains after t years. Let y(t) be
Stels [109]

Explanation:

1) Initial mass of the Cesium-137=N_o= 180 mg

Mass of Cesium after time t = N

Formula used :

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}\\\\\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}

Half life of the cesium-137 = t_{1/2}=30 years[p/tex]where,
[tex]N_o = initial mass of isotope

N = mass of the parent isotope left after the time, (t)

t_{\frac{1}{2}} = half life of the isotope

\lambda = rate constant

N=N_o\times e^{-(\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}})\times t}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}

Mass that remains after t years.

N=180 mg\times e^{0.0231 year^{-1}\times t}

Therefore, the parent isotope remain after one half life will be, 100 grams.

2)

t = 70 years

N_o=180 mg

t_{1/2}= 30 yeras

N=180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times 70 years}

N = 35.73 mg

35.73 mg of cesium-137 will remain after 70 years.

3)

N_o=180 mg

t_{1/2}= 30 yeras

N = 1 mg

t = ?

1 mg =180mg\times e^{-\frac{0.693}{30 years}\times t}

\frac{-30 year}{0.693}\times \ln \frac{1 mg}{180 mg}=t

t = 224.80 years ≈ 225 years

After 225 years only 1 mg of cesium-137 will remain.

Calculate the freezing point of a solution made from 220g of octane (C Hua), molar mass = 114,0 gmol dissolved in 1480 g of benz
stiv31 [10]

Answer: Freezing point of a solution will be -1.16^0C

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m

\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=(5.50-T_f)^0C = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte)

K_f = freezing point constant = 5.12^0C/m

m= molality

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}

Weight of solvent (benzene)= 1480 g =1.48 kg

Molar mass of solute (octane) = 114.0 g/mol

Mass of solute (octane) = 220 g

(5.50-T_f)^0C=1\times 5.12\times \frac{220g}{114.0 g/mol\times 1.48kg}

(5.50-T_f)^0C=6.68

T_f=-1.16^0C

Thus the freezing point of a solution will be -1.16^0C
