The electron configuration for Zn2 is [Ar] 3d10 and NOT [Ar] 4s23d8. What experimental evidence has been collected that would al

Answer:

Zn2+ is colourless

Explanation:

We know that transition metal salts are usually coloured due to the possibility of d-d transition.

This d-d transition can only occur when there are vacant d-orbitals. The electronic configuration [Ar] 4s23d8 suggests the presence of vacant d-orbitals and the possibility of the compounds of Zn2+ being coloured.

However, the absence of colours in Zn2+ compounds shows that there is no d-d transition(electronic) spectra observed for Zn2+ because the d orbitals are completely filled. This means that the correct electronic configuration of the ion is [Ar] 3d10.

Question 3) A 1.00 L buffer solution is 0.250 M in HF and 0.250 M in LiF. Calculate the pH of the solution after the addition of
Masja [62]

The pH of the solution after adding 0.150 moles of solid LiF is 3.84

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have the chemical equation,

HF (aq)+NaOH(aq)->NaF(aq)+H2O

To find how many moles have been used in this

c= n/V=> n= c.V

nHF=0.250 M⋅1.5 L=0.375 moles HF

Simillarly

nF=0.250 M⋅1.5 L=0.375 moles F

nHF=0.375 moles - 0.250 moles=0.125 moles

nF=0.375 moles+0.250 moles=0.625 moles

[HF]=0.125 moles/1.5 L=0.0834 M

[F−]=0.625 moles/1.5 L=0.4167 M

To determine the problem using the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation

pH=pKa+log ([conjugate base/[weak acid])

Find the value of Ka

pKa=−log(Ka)

pH=−log(Ka) +log([F−]/[HF]

pH= -log(3.5 x 10 ^4)+log(0.4167 M/0.0834 M)

pH=-log(3.5 x 10 ^4)+log(4.996)

pH= -4.54+0.698

pH=-(-3.84)

pH=3.84

The pH of the solution after adding 0.150 moles of solid LiF is 3.84

A word equation is a written description of a chemical reaction.
All word equations start with the reactants.
Then, what comes next is the word "react to form."
Finally, the products of the equation are mentioned.
An example is,
Zinc and Hypochondriac acid react to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride.

How to find the final temperature
sveta [45]

Answer:

The final temperature will be "12.37°".

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass,

m = 0.125 kg

Initial temperature,

c = 22.0°C

Time,

Δt = 4.5 min

As we know,

⇒  q=mc \Delta t

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒     =0.125\times 22.0\times 4.5

⇒     =12.37^{\circ}

2. Which energy source is considered a non-renewable resource?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer is D

Explanation:

Although natural processes continually form fossil fuels, such fuels are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and the known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made. ... The use of fossil fuels raises serious environmental concerns.
