An element with the electron configuration: [noble gas] ns2 (n - 1)d10 np3 has how many_____________ valence electrons.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct option is e. 5

Explanation:

An element with the electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ belongs to the nitrogen group element - group 15 - in a period higher than 2. The element could be As, Sb or Bi. For example, arsenic (As) has the electron configuration [Ne] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p³.

The valence electrons are those in the highest energy level, in a s or p sublevel. For the elements with the general electron configuration [noble gas] ns² (n - 1)d¹⁰ np³ has 5 valence electrons: 2 electrons in a s sublevel and 3 electrons in a p sublevel. The electrons in the d orbital are in a lowest energy level (n-1).

Therefore, the correct option is e. 5.

Calculate the molarity of 48.0 mL of 6.00 M H2SO4 diluted to 0.250 L
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.15m.

Since molality is defined as moles of solute divided by kg of solvent, we need to calculated the moles of H2SO4 and the mass of the solvent, which I presume is water.

We can find the number of H2SO4 moles by using its molarity

C=nV→nH2SO4=C⋅VH2SO4=6.00molesL⋅48.0⋅10−3L=0.288

Since water has a density of 1.00kgL, the mass of solvent is

m=ρ⋅Vwater=1.00kgL⋅0.250L=0.250 kg

Therefore, molality is

m=nmass.solvent=0.288moles0.250kg=1.15m

There are 50 fish in the pond that have tags. You catch 25 fish, and 5 of them have tags. What is the best estimate of the numbe
sergeinik [125]

Answer: 250


Explanation:


You work this problem by using proportions.


A proportion is the equalization of two ratios.


Here you assume that the ratio of fish with tags to total fish that you catch is the same than the ratio of fish with tags to total fish in the pond.


Mathematically:

  • 5 fish with tag / 25 fish = 50 fish with tag / x
  • 5 / 25 = 50 / x

Solve for x:

  • Multiplication property of equality: x × 5 = 50 × 25
  • Division property of equality: x = 50 × 25 / 5
  • Result: 250
