Which element's total number of electrons is equal to the number of core

Chemistry
1 answer:
horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

Neon (Ne)

Explanation:

The atomic number of Chlorine is seventeen and its number of valance electrons are seven, so number of core electrons will be ten.

Valance electrons;

These are the electrons which are present in put most valance shells and take part in bonding.

Core electrons:

These are the electrons present in inner to the valance shell and closer to the nucleus. These electrons do not take part in bonding.

Electronic configuration:

Cl₁₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Core electrons = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ = 10

Valance electrons = 3s² 3p⁵ = 7

The number of core electrons are ten and atomic number of neon is also ten. So, the number of core electrons of chlorine will be equal to the total number of electrons of neon.

What is the volume of 14.0g of nitrogen gas at STP?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

  • <em>The volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is </em><u><em>11.2 liter.</em></u>

Explanation:

STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.

The International Institute of of Pure and Applied Chemistry, IUPAC changed the definition of standard temperature and pressure (STP) in 1982:

  •   Before the change, STP was defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 1 atm (101.325 kPa).

  •    After the change, STP is defined as a temperature of 273.15 K and an absolute pressure of exactly 105 Pa (100 kPa, 1 bar).

Using the ideal gas equation of state, PV = nRT you can calculate the volume of one mole (n = 1)  of gas. With the former definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP, rounded to 3 significant figures, was 22.4 liter. This is classical well known result.

With the later definition, the volume of a mol of gas at STP is 22.7 liter.

I will use the traditional measure of 22.4 liter per mole of gas.

<u>1) Convert 14.0 g of nitrogen gas to number of moles:</u>

  • n = mass in grams / molar mass
  • Atomic mass of nitrogen: 14.0 g/mol
  • Nitrogen gas is a diatomic molecule, so the molar mass of nitrogen gas = molar mass of N₂ = 14.0 × 2 g/mol = 28.0 g/mol
  • n = 14.0 g / 28.0 g/mol = 0.500 mol

<u>2) Set a proportion to calculate the volume of nitrogen gas:</u>

  • 22.4 liter / mol = x  / 0.500 mol
  • Solve for x: x = 0.500 mol × 22.4 liter / mol = 11.2 liter.

<u>Conclusion:</u> the volume of 14.0 g of nitrogen gas at STP is 11.2 liter.

Naturally occurring indium has two isotopes, indium-113(112.9040580 amu) and Indium-115 (114.9038780 amu. The atomic mass of ind
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter c (96%)

Explanation:

Indium -113 (112-9040580 amu) ₁₁₃In

Indium-115 (114.9038780 amu)  ₁₁₅In

Atomic mass of Indium is 114.82 amu ₁₁₄.₈₂In

Formula

Atomic mass = m₁(%₁) +m₂(%₂)  / 100

%₁ = x I established this is an equation

%₂ = 100 - x

Substituting values

114.82 = 112.8040x + 114.9039(100-x) /100    and know we expand and simplify

114.82 = 112.8040x + 11490.39 - 114.9039x  /100

11482 = 112.8040x -114.9039x +11490.39

11482 - 11490.39 = 112.8040x -114.9039x

-8.39 = -2.099x

x = 3.99

Then % of Indium-115 = 100 - 3.99 = 96

One gram of alum, KAl(SO4)2.12H2O, contains 1.3 × 1021 Al atoms. How many oxygen atoms are contained in 1.0 g alum?
Roman55 [17]

From the chemical formula, 1 formula unit of KAl (SO4)2.12H2O encompasses 1 atom of Al = 4 * 2 atoms of O in KAl (SO4)2 + 12 atoms of O in 12H2O which is equal to 20 atoms of O.

So, if you have 1.3 × 10^21 Al atoms, you have 20 * 1.3 × 10^21 O atoms will now be equal to 2.6 * 10^22 atoms of O.
