The correct electron configuration of Phosphorus (P) :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p³ or [Ne] 3s²3p³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Phosphorus (P) element

Required

The correct electron configuration

Solution

The electron configuration of an element is primarily based on the number of electrons

Phosphorus (symbol P) has the atomic number 15

The atomic number itself shows the number of electrons and the number of protons of an atom.

atomic number = number of electrons = number of protons in neutral atoms

So that the number of electrons from Phosphorus = 15

Its electron configuration  :

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p³ or [Ne] 3s²3p³

When the temperature of a reacting mixture increases, the rate of reaction increases. Which statement explains why the rate of r
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

This is one of the factors that affects chemical reactions

Temperature:This is because when the temperature is raised energy in form of heat is supplied to the reacting particles and so the rate of reaction is increased.

ch sulfide (ZnS) occurs in the zinc blende crystal structure, (a) If 254 g of ZnS contains 170 g of Zn, what is the mass ratio o
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.

2.5559 kg of Zn are in 3.82 kg of ZnS.

Explanation:

a) Mass of zinc sulfide = 254 g

Mass of zinc in a zinc sulfide sample = 170 g

Mass of sulfide in zinc sulfide sample = x

254 g = 170 g+ x

x = 84 g

The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide:

\frac{170 g}{84 g}=\frac{85}{42}

b) Mass of zincsulfide sample = 3.83 kg

The mass ratio of zinc to sulfide is 85:42.

Let the mass of zinc and sulfide be 85x and 42x respectively:

85 x+ 42 x=3.82 kg

x =0.03007 kg

Mass of an zinc= 85x=85 × 0.03007 kg= 2.5559 kg

Use the given half reactions to "construct" an electrolytic cell. Zn^2+ + 2 e^---------&gt;Zn E°cell = -0.76 V Cu^2+ + 2 e^-----
Neko [114]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The standard cell potential at 298 K is given by;

E°cathode - E°anode

Hence;

E°cell = 0.34 V - (-0.76 V)

E°cell = 0.34 V + 0.76 V

E°cell = 1.1 V

To reduce Zn^2+ to Zn then Zn must be the cathode, hence;

E°cell = (-0.76 V) - 0.34 V

E°cell = -1.1 V
