Answer:
- <u>Option b. Atom P has an estimated Zeff of 7 and is therefore to the right of Atom Q, which has a Zeff of 6.</u>
Explanation:
Please, find attached the figures of both atom Q and atom P corresponding to this question.
The <u>features of atom Q are</u>:
- Each <em>black sphere</em> represents an electron
- In total this atom has 8 electrons: 2 in the inner shell and 6 in the outermost shell.
- Since it is assumed that the atom is neutral, it has 8 protons: one positive charge of a proton balances one negative charge of an electron. Thus, the atomic number of this atom is 8.
- Since only two shells are ocuppied, you can assert that the atom belongs to the period 2 (which is confirmed looking into a periodic table with the atomic number 8).
- <em>Zeff </em>is the effective nuclear charge of the atom. It accounts for the net positive charge the valence electrons experience. And may, in a very roughly way, be estimated as the number of protons less the number of electrons in the inner shells. Thus, for this atom, an estimated Z eff = 8 - 2 = 6.
The <u>features of atom P</u> are:
- Again, each black sphere represents an electron
- In total this atom has 9 electrons: 2 in the inner shell and 7 in the outermost shell.
- Since it is assumed that the atom is neutral, it has 9 protons.
- The atomic number of this atom is 9.
- Using the same reasoning used for atom Q, this atom is also in the period 2.
- Estimated Z eff = 9 - 2 = 7.
Then, since atom P has a greater Z eff than atom Q (an estimated Zeff of 7 for atom P against an estimated Z eff of 6 for atom Q), and both atoms are in the same period, you can affirm that <em>atom P</em> has a greater atomic number and<em> is therefore to the right of atom Q</em>.
16.4 grams is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M .
sodium phosphate
Explanation:
Given data about sodium phosphate
atomic mass of Na3PO4 = 164 grams/mole
volume of the solution = 500 ml or 0.5 litres
molarity of sodium phosphate solution = 0.200 M
The formula for molarity will be used here to know the mass dissolved in the given volume of the solution:
The formula is
molarity =
putting the values in the equation, we get
molarity x volume = number of moles
0.200 X 0.5= number of moles
number of moles = 0.1 moles
Atomic mass x number of moles = mass
putting the values in the above equation
164 x 0.1 = 16.4 grams
16.4 grams of sodium phosphate is present in 0.5 L of the solution to make a 0.2 M solution.
