Four gases are described below.

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.

If your lawn is 21.0 ft wide and 20.0 ft long, and each square foot of lawn accumulates 1350 new snow flakes every minute. How m

GaryK [48]

First we can calculate the area of the rectangular lawn using the formula:
Area = Width x Length = 21 ft x 20 ft = 420 square feet

And the total number of snow flakes per minute on the entire lawn is:

(1350 snowflakes per minute per square foot) x (420 square feet) = 567,000 snowflakes per minute

In one hour (or 60 minutes) we get a total of:

(567,000 snowflakes per minute) x (60 minutes / 1 hour) = 34,020,000 snowflakes

The total mass of which would be:

34,020,000 snowflakes x 1.60 mg = 54,432,000 mg = 54.432 kg (as 1 kg = 1,000,000 mg).

So 54.432 kg of snow accumulates every hour on the lawn.

how many calories of energy are given off to lower the temperature of 100.0g of iron from 150.0°C to 35.0°C?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

ΔT = Tfinal − Tinitial = 150°C − 35.0°C = 125°C

given the specific heat of iron as 0.108 cal/g·°C

heat=(100.0 g)(0.108 cal /g· °C )(125°C) =

100x 0.108x125= 1350 cal
