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.

which nonmetals could form an ionic compound with the formula MgX^2 ( where X represents the nonmetal)? (possible, not possible)
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Ionic compound is formed when a metal and a nonmetal are attached.

If we have MgX₂, that means that the nonmetal must have a valence of -1.

From the list the nonmetals with a valence of -1 are:

Bromine(Br) and  fluorine(F).

Consider the following data showing the initial rate of a reaction (A→products) at several different concentrations of A.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

(1) order = 2

(2) R = K [A]²

Explanation:

Given the reaction:

A--------->Product

The rate constant relation for the reaction is given as:

R(i) = K [A]............(*)

Where R(I) is rate constant at different concentration of A.

Taking the rate constant as R1, R2 and R3 for the different concentrations respectively. Then the following equations results

0.011 = K [0.15] ⁿ.........(1)

0.044 = K [0.30]ⁿ .......(2)

0.177 = K [0.60]ⁿ .........(3)

Dividing (2) by (1) and (3) by (1)

Gives:

0.044/0.011 = [0.3/0.15]ⁿ

4 = 2ⁿ; 2² = 2ⁿ; n = 2

Similarly

0.177/0.011 = [0.60/0.15]ⁿ

16.09 = 4ⁿ

16.09 = 16 (approximately)

4² = 4ⁿ ; n = 2

Hence the order of the reaction is 2.

The rate law is R = K [A]²
