Answer:

Quantum numbers of the outermost electron in potassium:

  • n = 4.
  • l  = 1.
  • m_l = 0.
  • Either m_s = 1/2.

Explanation:

Refer to the electron configuration of a potassium atom. The outermost electron in a ground-state potassium atom is in the 4s orbital (fourth s orbital.)

The quantum number n (the principal quantum number) specifies the main energy shell of an electron. This electron is in the fourth main energy shell (as seen in the number four in the orbital.) Hence, n = 4 for this electron.

The quantum number l (the angular momentum quantum number) specifies the shape (s, p, d, etc.) of an electron. l = 1 for s\! orbitals (such as the one that contains this electron.

Quantum numbers n and l specify the shape of an orbital. On the other hand, the magnetic quantum number m_l specifies the orientation of these orbitals in space.

However, s orbitals are spherical. Regardless of the value of n, the only possible m_l value for electrons in s\! orbitals is m_l = 0.

The spin quantum number m_s distinguishes between the two electrons in an orbital. The two possible values of m_s \! are (+1/2) and (-1/2). Typically, the first electron in an orbital is assigned an upward (\uparrow) spin, which corresponds to m_s = (+1/2).

1.15 g of a metallic element needs 300 cm3 of oxygen for complete reaction, at 298 K and 1 atm
sashaice [31]
1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm


Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT


R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol

V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter

T = 298 K

p = 1 atm


=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol


2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type


X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O          or   


2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO     or


4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3


 
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)



So, lets probe those 3 cases.


3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol

=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X


Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:

1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol


That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+


So, now probe the case 2.



4) Case 2:


2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol


=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol


And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol


That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.


4) Case 3


4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635 


atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol


That does not correspond to any metal.


Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.

A Wisconsin farmer taps a maple tree and collects 200 liters of sap. He determines the sucrose (C12H2011) concentration to be 0.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

6.0 L

Explanation:

Use the dilution equation M1V1 = M2V2

M1 = 0.075 M

V1 = 200 L

M2 = 2.5 M

V2 = ?

Solve for V2 --> V2 = M1V1/M2

V2 = (0.075 M)(200 L) / (2.5 M) = 6.0 L
