8 0

Explanation:

Chlorine is an element in group 7 on the periodic table.

  It is the second element in this group of halogens

 The element has a total of 17 electrons:

Ground state configuration  = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Valence electrons are the outermost shell electrons;

  From the configuration: 3s² 3p⁵ is the valence shell

           Number of electrons  = 2 + 5  = 7

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is entropy change of the surrounding plus the entropy change of the system must be positive.

Explanation:

The term entropy is a state function.Entropy can be defined as the disorder or randomness of the molecules in a system.

 A spontaneous reaction is a type of reaction which deals with the release of free energy.The change of free energy in case of spontaneous reaction is always negative.

 According to the second law of thermodynamics a spontaneous reaction will occur in a system if the total entropy of both  system and surrounding increases during the reaction.

Which statement explains why water is classified
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compounds are the substances which contain two or more different elements.

Similarly, water is a compound as it is made up when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Compounds can be broken down with the help of chemical reactions.

Hence, the statement water can be broken down by chemical means explains why water is classified  as a compound.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE HELPPPPPPPP I BEGGGGG FOR HELPPPPP
Elza [17]

Answer: There are 21.08\times 10^{23} molecules in 63.00 g of H_2O

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{63.00g}{18g/mol}=3.5moles

1 mole of H_2O contains =  6.023\times 10^{23} molecules

Thus 3.5 moles of H_2O contains =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 3.5=21.08\times 10^{23} molecules.

There are 21.08\times 10^{23} molecules in 63.00 g of H_2O
