An atom has the electron configuration of 1s22s22p5 how many electrons are in that atom

Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

There are 9 electrons in this atom.

Explanation:

Electron configuration of this atom: 1s^2\, 2s^2\, 2p^5.

The electron orbitals of an atom are denoted as 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, etc. At any given time, an electron in this atom is located in exactly one orbital.

The electron configuration of an atom gives the number of electrons in each orbitals of this atom.

For example, in this atom, the superscript "2" on the right of "1s" means that there are two electrons in the 1s\! orbital of this atom. Hence, 1s^2\, 2s^2\, 2p^5 would translate to:

  • The 1s orbital of this atom contains 2 electrons.
  • The 2s orbital of this atom contains 2 electrons.
  • The 2p orbitals of this atom contain 5 electrons.

Hence, there would be 2 + 2 + 5 = 9 electrons in total in this atom.

How many vibrational modes does ethanol have? Explain why.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The ethanol has 21 vibrational modes.

Explanation:

A molecule can show 3 types of motions: one external called translational and two internal called rotational and vibrational.

In order to calculate the vibrational modes of a molecule we need to know the degrees of freedom of this molecule, it means the number of variables that are involved in the movement of this particle.

If we know that atoms are three dimensional we will know that they have 3 coordinates expressed as 3N. But the atoms are bonded together so they can move not only in translational but also rotational and vibrational. So, the rotational move can be described in 3 axes and the other vibrational move can be described as

3N-5 for linear molecules

3N-6 For nonlinear molecules like ethanol

So using the formula for nonlinear molecules where N is the amount of atoms in the chemical formula, so ethanol has 9 atoms

3(9)-6= 21

Thus, ethanol has 21 vibrational modes.

A tank with volume of 2.4 cu ft is filled with Methane to a pressure of 1500 psia at 104 degrees F. Determine the molecular weig
Soloha48 [4]

Explanation:

It is known that equation for ideal gas is as follows.

               PV = nRT

The given data is as follows.

     Pressure, P = 1500 psia,     Temperature, T = 104^{o}F = 104 + 460 = 564 R

     Volume, V = 2.4 cubic ft,      R = 10.73 psia ft^{3}/lb mol R

Also, we know that number of moles is equal to mass divided by molar mass of the gas.

                n = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

            m = n \times W

                = 0.594 \times 16.04

                = 9.54 lb

Hence, molecular weight of the gas is 9.54 lb.

  • We will calculate the density as follows.

                d = \frac{PM}{RT}

                    = \frac{1500 \times 16.04}{10.73 \times 564}

                    = 3.975 lb/ft^{3}

  • Now, calculate the specific gravity of the gas as follows.

  Specific gravity relative to air = \frac{\text{density of methane}}{\text{density of air}}

                         = \frac{3.975 lb/ft^{3}}{0.0765 lb/ft^{3}}

                         = 51.96

How will adding NaCl affect the freezing point of a solution?
lord [1]

Answer is: adding NaCl will lower the freezing point of a solution.

A solution (in this example solution of sodium chloride) freezes at a lower temperature than does the pure solvent (deionized water).

The higher the solute concentration (sodium chloride), freezing point depression of the solution will be greater.

Equation describing the change in freezing point:  

ΔT = Kf · b · i.

ΔT - temperature change from pure solvent to solution.

Kf - the molal freezing point depression constant.

b -  molality (moles of solute per kilogram of solvent).

i - Van’t Hoff Factor.

Dissociation of sodium chloride in water: NaCl(aq) →  Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).
