Answer: The element having given electronic configuration is magnesium.

Explanation:

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom. Number of electrons in an atom are determined by the electronic configuration.

Atomic number is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

We are given an electronic configuration: $1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

The total number of electrons = [2 + 2 + 6 + 2] = 12

The atom having atomic number 12 is magnesium.

Hence, the element having given electronic configuration is magnesium.

Which of the following regions does NOT match its description?

Fantom [35]

The region that does not match its description is the fourth answer choice which is Abdominal region: spine

For the first answer choice - Cranial region: head

The cranial region encompasses the upper part of the head.

∴ The first answer choice matches its description.

For the second answer choice - Axillary region: armpits

The axillary region is an anatomical region under the shoulder joint where the arm connects to the shoulder. Therefore, it encompasses the armpits.

∴ The second answer choice matches its description.

For the third answer choice - Thoracic region: chest

The thoracic region runs from the base of the neck down to the abdomen. Therefore, it encompasses the chest

∴ The third answer choice matches its description

For the fourth answer choice - Abdominal region: spine

The abdominal region is divided into four quadrants which include are

1. Right upper quadrant fossa (RUQ)

2. Right lower quadrant fossa (RLQ)

3. Left lower quadrant fossa (LLQ)

4. Left upper quadrant fossa (LUQ)

It is also divided into nine (9) areas, all of which does not include the spine.

∴ The fourth answer choice does NOT match its description.

Hence, the region that does not match its description is the fourth answer choice which is Abdominal region: spine

Calculate the ph of a 0.021 m nacn solution. [ka(hcn) = 4.9  10–10]

ohaa [14]

Answer is: pH of solution of sodium cyanide is 11.3.
Chemical reaction 1: NaCN(aq) → CN⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction 2: CN⁻ + H₂O(l) ⇄ HCN(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
c(NaCN) = c(CN⁻) = 0.021 M.
Ka(HCN) = 4.9·10⁻¹⁰.
Kb(CN⁻) = 10⁻¹⁴ ÷ 4.9·10⁻¹⁰ = 2.04·10⁻⁵.
Kb = [HCN] · [OH⁻] / [CN⁻].
[HCN] · [OH⁻] = x.
[CN⁻] = 0.021 M - x..
2.04·10⁻⁵ = x² / (0.021 M - x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [OH⁻] = 0.00198 M.
pOH = -log(0.00198 M) = 2.70.
pH = 14 - 2.70 = 11.3.
