Explain more so i could answer it!!
Answer:
[Ar] 4s²
Explanation:
Ca is the symbol for Calcium. It is the 20th element and it has 20 electrons.
The full electronic configuration for calcium is given as;
1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²
The condensed electronic configuration is given as;
[Ar] 4s²
<h3><u> Answer</u>;</h3>
= 4.0 L
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure at a constant temperature.
Therefore; <em>Volume α 1/pressure</em>
<em>Mathematically; V α 1/P</em>
<em>V = kP, where k is a constant;</em>
<em>P1V1 = P2V2</em>
<em>V1 = 0.5 l, P1 =203 kPa, P2 = 25.4 kPa</em>
<em>V2 = (0.5 × 203 )/25.4 </em>
<em> = 3.996 </em>
<em> ≈ </em><em><u>4.0 L</u></em>
Answer:
Explanation:
a. Oxidation : 2O + 4e^- ------> 2O^2-
b. Reduction: 2Sr - 4e- -------> Sr^2+
c. Balanced redox reaction
2Sr + O2 ------------> 2Sr O
Oxidation and reduction can be defined by various means, addition of oxygen, removal of hydrogen, removal of electrons. For this reaction, this definition is used, oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gaining of electrons.
In (a) oxidation half reaction, the valency of oxygen is zero and then moves into lossing two electrons resulting into -2 valency.
In (b) reduction half reaction, the valency of Sr is zero and gains electrons resulting into valency of 2.
In the overall redox reaction, Sr and O2 with valency of 0 each reacts together and form SrO with valency of 2 and -2 respectively, which gives 0 and then balances the equation.
