The answer is 8.13 x 10²⁸ atoms.

First we calculate the number of moles using the molar mass.

molar mass of helium = 4 g/mol.

it means that 1 mole of helium atoms weighs 4 gram.

Now we have 540 kg of helium =540000 grams

Number of moles in 540000 grams;

540000 / 4 =135000 mol

Now in one mole there is 6.02 x 10²³ atoms

So, in 135000 mol there is;

135000 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 8.13 x 10²⁸atoms

Which of the following is a reasonable ground-state electron configuration?A) 1s21p62d2B) 1s22s42p6C) 1s22s22p5D) 1s22s22d6

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Option C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

Explanation:

Ground-state is the configuration of the electrons when every electron of the atom occupies the lowest possible energy level.

The rank of energy of the orbitals may be remembered using Aufbau rules, and it is:

1s² < 2s² < 2p⁶ < 3s² < 3p⁶ < 4s² < 3d¹⁰ < 4p⁶ < 5s² < 4d¹⁰ < 5p⁶ < 6s² < 4f¹⁴ < 5d¹⁰ < 6p⁶ < 7s² < 5f¹⁴ < 6d¹⁰ < 7p⁶

Then, to find whether an electron configuration corresponds to a ground-state one, you must check that the previous order is preserved.

Option A). 1s² 1p⁶ 2d²

The orbital 1p does not exist. So this one is discarded.

Option B) 1s² 2s⁴ 2p⁶

The maximum number of electrons in an s orbital is 2, so 2s⁴ is impossible, and this option is discarded.

Option C) 1s² 2s² 2p⁵

This is correct because the orbitals are filled in the correct increasing energy order, without jumping any one.

Option D) 1s² 2s² 2d⁶

Orbital 2d does not exist, so this option is also discarded.

Assume that coal can be represented by the chemical formula C135H96O9NS. If 4.0 tons of coal is burned, what mass of nitrogen is

Schach [20]

Answer:

0.02 tons of NO produced when 4 tons of coal is burned

Explanation:

From the given,

Chemical formula of coal = $C_{134}H_{96}O_{9}NS$

Molecular mass of coal = $(134\times12)+(9\times1)+(9\times16)+14+32\,=1906.1gm$

Let’s calculate the mass of nitrogen in coal

$Percentage\,weight\,of\,nitrogen=\frac{Mass\,of\,nitrogen}{Molecular\,mass\,of coal}$

$Percentage\,weight/,of/,nitrogen=\frac{14}{1906.1}=0.73%$

Amount of coal burnt = 4tons

Amount of NO produced by burning 4tons = $4\,tons\,of\,coal\times \frac{0.73tons}{100\,tons\,of\,coal}=0.0292\,tons$

This nitrogen is converted into NO by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.
