Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given Einstein's theory of relativity, we have that;

E= mc^2

m= mass of the substance

c= speed of light

For one gram of the substance,

E= 1 ×10^-3 × (3 × 10^8)^2

E = 9 × 10^13 J

For 8.7 g of matter;

E = 8.7 × 10^-3× (3 × 10^8)

E= 7.83 ×10^ 14 J

A single electron configuration can represent multiple atoms. The one below represents the following atoms with different charge
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

To have the electronic configuration equal to 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷, the chemical element must have an electrical charge equal to 27, that is, it must have 27 electrons, such as Cobalt (Co), for example.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration shown in the question above is known as the Linus Pauling distribution and represents the energy sub-levels that an electrically charged atom can have in relation to the amount of electrons it has.

The layers sub-levels are presented in the following order 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹º 4p⁶ 5s² 4d¹º 5p⁶ 6s² 4f14 5d¹º 6p⁶ 7s² 5f14 6d¹º 7p⁶. Where the small numbers represent the number of electrons in each sub-level and the large numbers represent the layers of electronic distribution.

Accordingly, we can see that an atom that has the configuration 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁷ has 27 electrons, like Cobalt.

Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the
Kaylis [27]

Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.

A metal M forms the oxide M2O. When 0.890 grams of M reacts with pure oxygen, 0.956 grams of M2O form. Write the balanced equati
Alla [95]

The molar mass of M is  0.225g/mol and the element M is Hydrogen

If a metal M combines with an oxygen element to form the oxide, M_2O then the chemical reaction will be expressed as:

4M + O_2 -> 2M_2O\\

This shows that 4 moles of an unknown element M react with the oxygen element to produce the oxide M_2O

Given the following parameters

Mass of M = 0.890 grams

Mass of M_2O = 0.956 grams

Get the molar mass of M:

Molar mass = Mass/number of moles

Molar mass = 0.890/4

Molar mass = 0.225g/mol

Hence the molar mass of M is  0.225g/mol and the element M is Hydrogen
