Answer:

Explanation:

When finding the element based on its electronic configuration the subscripts gives the number of electrons in the element.

In the given example total number of subscripts are 16. This means the element has 16 electrons which is equal to the atomic number of the element. hence, the element is Sulphur.

Here, s, p, d, and f are orbitals. So, as per the EC given, 3p orbital has 4 electrons in it. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Since, s, p, d, and f are orbitals and not shells, subshells. Therefore, other options are incorrect.

Answer:

30.8 grams of magnesium hydroxide will form from this reaction, and magnesium nitrate is the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

2NaOH + Mg(NO₃)₂ → 2NaNO₃ + Mg(OH)₂

Now we convert the given masses of reactants to moles, using their respective molar masses:

68.3 g NaOH ÷ 40 g/mol = 1.71 mol NaOH

78.3 g Mg(NO₃)₂ ÷ 148.3 g/mol = 0.528 mol Mg(NO₃)₂

0.528 moles of Mg(NO₃)₂ would react completely with (0.528 * 2) 1.056 moles of NaOH. There are more than enough NaOH moles, so NaOH is the reagent in excess and Mg(NO₃)₂ is the limiting reagent.

Now we calculate how many Mg(OH)₂ are produced, using the moles of the limiting reagent:
