Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.

What is the molarity of aqueous lithium bromide if 25.0 mL of LiBr reacts with 10.0 mL of 0.250 M Pb(NO 3) 2

bixtya [17]

The molarity of aqueous lithium bromide, LiBr solution is 0.2 M

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ in the solution.

Volume = 10 mL = 10 / 1000 = 0.01 L
Molarity of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.250 M
Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.25 × 0.01

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.0025 mole

Next, we shall determine the mole of LiBr required to react with 0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2LiBr —> PbBr₂ + 2LiNO₃

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ reacted with 2 mole of LiBr.

Therefore,

0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ will react with = 2 × 0.0025 = 0.005 mole of LiBr

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the LiBr solution

Mole = 0.005 mole
Volume = 25 mL = 25 / 1000 = 0.025 L
Molarity of LiBr =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of LiBr = 0.005 / 0.025

Molarity of LiBr = 0.2 M

Iron is extracted from iron oxide in the Blast Furnace: Fe 2 O 3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO 2

arsen [322]

a. mass of iron = 69.92 g

b. percent yield = 93%

<h3>Further eplanation </h3>

Percent yield is the compare of the amount of product obtained from a reaction with the amount you calculated

General formula:

Percent yield = (Actual yield / theoretical yield )x 100%

An actual yield is the amount of product actually produced by the reaction. A theoretical yield is the amount of product that you calculate from the reaction equation according to the product and reactant coefficients

Reaction

Fe₂O₃+3CO⇒2Fe+3CO₂

MW Fe₂O₃ : 159.69 g/mol

mol Fe₂O₃

$\tt \dfrac{100}{159,69}=0.626$

mol Fe₂O₃ : mol Fe = 1 : 2

mol Fe :

$\tt \dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.626=1.252$

mass of Fe(Ar=55.845 g/mol) :

$\tt 1.252\times 55.845=69.92~g$

actual yield = 65 g

theoretical yield = 69.92 g

percent yield :

$\tt =\dfrac{65}{69.92}=0.93=93\%$

From the list of the instructions and tips below, select the statement that would NOT lead to a successful recrystallization O D

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

C. Precipitate the crystals as fast as possible

Explanation:

C. Precipitate the crystals as fast as possible

Precipitation if done fast , can lead to the formation of impure crystals , as impurities also get stuck inside the crystals. So it must be done slowly to obtain the pure crystals . Slower the crystals form , purer they are .

All the other options can lead to a successful recrystallization.
