How many number of orbitals are in Potassium (K)? 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1

Chemistry

Doss [256]2 years ago

7 0

Explanation:

Each orbital can only carry at most 2 electrons wih opposite spins.

The first 3 shells are fully filled, giving 9 orbitals.

There is an extra electron in 4s, which gives another orbital. (even though it is not filled yet)

Hence there are 10 orbitals.

The cylinder of aluminum in class was approximately 13mm in circumference and 42mm in length. What would be it's approximate mas

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 1.51 grams

Explanation:

It is given that,

The circumference of Aluminium cylinder, C = 13 mm = 1.3 cm

Length of the cylinder, h = 4.2 cm

We know that the density of the Aluminium is 2.7 g/cm³

Circumference, C = 2πr

$r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.3}{2\pi}\\\\r=0.206\ cm$

Density is equal to mass per unit volume.

$d=\dfrac{m}{V}$

m is mass of the cylinder

V is the volume of the cylinder

$V=\pi r^2h\\\\V=\dfrac{22}{7}\times0.206^2\times 4.2\\\\V=0.5601\ cm^3$

So,

$m=d\times V\\\\m=2.7\times 0.5601\\\\m=1.51\ g$

So, the mass of the cylinder is 1.51 grams.

If the equilibrium constant of the reaction is 0.85, then which statement is true if the mass of A is 10.5 grams; the density of

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

E. Q < K and reaction shifts right

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

A(s) + 3 B(l) ⇄ 2(aq) + D(aq)

Step 2: Calculate the reaction quotient (Q)

The reaction quotient, as the equilibrium constant (K), only includes aqueous and gaseous species.

Q = [C]² × [D]

Q = 0.64² × 0.38

Q = 0.15

Step 3: Compare Q with K and determine in which direction will shift the reaction

Since Q < K, the reaction will shift to the right to attain the equilibrium.
