Answer:The atom being mostly empty space. A small number of alpha particles were deflected by large angles (> 4°) as they passed through the foil. There is a concentration of positive charge in the atom. Like charges repel, so the positive alpha particles were being repelled by positive charge

A gas sample occupies 3.25 liters at 297.5K and 2.4 atm. Determine the temperature at which the gas will occupy 4.25 L at 1.50 a
lorasvet [3.4K]

For equal moles of  gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:

P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)

Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.

2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K

Rearranging,

n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K

Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T

Putting the value of n×R in above equation,

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T

Thus, T=243.32 K

Which pair has identical electron configurations?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell  

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

  • S²⁻ and CI

S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

  • K⁺ and CI⁻

K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

  • S and Ar

S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

  • Cl⁻ and K

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹

8.7 Two products are formed in the following reaction in a 50:50 mixture. Would the resulting solution be optically active
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yes. The solution would be optically active.

Explanation:

Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.

In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.

So the answer is Yes.

Salt is dissolved in a flask of tap water. Distilling the mixture causes the salt to separate from the water. Which type of ener
Alik [6]
Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.
