Roughly, Aufbau Principle says that in an atom or an ion, electrons enter the shell with low energy first before entering the shell with high energy.

An atom has shells around its nucleus. Electrons enter these shells and orbit around the nucleus of an atom. To say about the properties of these shells, the shell nearest to the nucleus has the lowest energy. The farther the shell from the nucleus, the higher its energy. Aufbau Principle states that electrons enter the closest shell to the nucleus first since it has the lowest energy. When that shell has its maximum number of electrons is can hold, then the next electron will enter the second-closest shell to the nucleus, which has higher energy than the first shell.

Answer:

Explanation:

21. Atoms are not created or destroyed means that atoms that you begin with are the atoms that you will end with. The catch is that the atoms will rearrange to give you new compounds, but the atoms that you initially had are the atoms you will still have after reaction. For eg, if you started with eggs and made omelet. Omelet is a "new" compound, but the atoms that were in the eggs have rearranged to become the omelet so can you see that atoms were not created or destroyed to make the omelet.

22. Yes because amount of products you make depends on how much reactants you have. For eg, I need two graham cracker(GC), one marshmallow(M), and one chocolate (C) to make a s'more. If I get more of each item then I can make more s'mores and consequently having minimum amounts results in less s'mores that I make.

23. Not possible, due to law of conservation of matter and energy. Atoms cannot be created nor be destroyed, they are simply rearranged. For eg, Taking A + B cannot give you a new compound with a chemical formula D or XZ. A + B can however give you AB which is rearrangement of the starting atoms.

24. Chemical equation is balanced when atoms on reactant side and atoms of product side are in equal counts. I have attached a graphic below for more help.

A very hot cube of copper metal (32.5 g) is submerged into 105.3 g of water at 15.4 0C and it reach a thermal equilibrium of 17.
zysi [14]

Answer:

The initial temperature of the metal is 84.149 °C.

Explanation:

The heat lost by the metal will be equivalent to the heat gain by the water.  

- (msΔT)metal = (msΔT)water

-32.5 grams × 0.365 J/g°C × ΔT = 105.3 grams × 4.18 J/g °C × (17.3 -15.4)°C

-ΔT = 836.29/12.51 °C

-ΔT = 66.89 °C

-(T final - T initial) = 66.89 °C

T initial = 66.89 °C + T final

T initial = 66.89 °C + 17.3 °C

T initial = 84.149 °C.
