Answer:

Co = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7

Explanation:

Number of electrons = 27

The closest noble gas before cobalt is Argon and argon has 18 electrons.

Co = [Ar]  ; Remains 27 - 18 = 9  more electrons to fill.

The next orbital in order of increasing energy is the 4s orbital. However it can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

We have;

Co = [Ar] 4s2; Remains 27 - 20 = 7 more electrons to fill.

The next orbital in order of increasing energy is the 3d orbital. It can have a maximum of 10 electrons.

So we have;

Co = [Ar] 4s2 3d7

The electronic configuration of Ar = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

This means the entire configuration of cobalt is;

Co = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d7

How many molecules of copper sulfate are needed to produce 5.0×1024 molecules of sodium sulfate?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

5.0 × 10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced double displacement reaction

2 NaOH + CuSO₄ ⇒ Na₂SO₄ + Cu(OH)₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 5.0 × 10²⁴ molecules of Na₂SO₄

We will use Avogadro's number: there are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.

5.0 × 10²⁴ molecule × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ molecule = 8.3 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CuSO₄ required to produce 8.3 moles of Na₂SO₄

The molar ratio of CuSO₄ to Na₂SO₄ is 1:1. The moles of CuSO₄ required are 1/1 × 8.3 mol = 8.3 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molecules corresponding to 8.3 moles of CuSO₄

We will use Avogadro's number.

8.3 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecule/1 mol = 5.0 × 10²⁴ molecule

Count the number of each type of atom in the equation below, and then balance the equation. Write In the numbers of atoms and co
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Balanced equation

CS2(l) + 3O2(g)------> CO2(g) + 2SO2(g)

Explanation:

For a chemical equation to be balanced, the number of atoms of each element on the left Hans side of the reaction equation must equal the number of atoms of that element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

Atoms of oxygen are six on both sides of the reaction equation. Atoms of sulphur are two while there is only one atom of carbon on both sides of the reaction equation.
