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.

How many moles of ammonia (nh3 will be produced from 4.0 moles of nitrogen (n2?

Lana71 [14]

Standard equation would be N2(g)+3H2(g)==>2NH3(g), so through stoichiometry, (4 mol N2)(2mol NH3/1 mol N2), assuming excess H2, would yield 8 moles of NH3.

At 2°C, the vapor pressure of pure water is 23.76 mmHg and that of a certain seawater sample is 23.09 mmHg. Assuming that seawat

wariber [46]

Answer:

0.808 M

Explanation:

Using Raoult's Law

$\frac{P_s}{Pi}= x_i$

where:

$P_s$ = vapor pressure of sea water( solution) = 23.09 mmHg

$P_i$ = vapor pressure of pure water (solute) = 23.76 mmHg

$x_i$ = mole fraction of water

∴

$\frac{23.09}{23.76}= x_i$

$x_i = 0.9718$

$x_i+x_2=1$

$x_2 = 1- x_i$

$x_2 = 1- 0.9718$

$x_2 = 0.0282$

$x_i = \frac{n_i}{n_i+n_2}$ ------ equation (1)

$x_2 = \frac{n_2}{n_i+n_2}$ ------ equation (2)

where; $(n_2) =$ number of moles of sea water

$(n_i) =$ number of moles of pure water

equating above equation 1 and 2; we have :

$\frac{n_2}{n_i}$ $= \frac{0.0282}{0.9178}$

$= 0.02901$

NOW, Molarity = $\frac{moles of sea water}{mass of pure water }*1000$

$= \frac{0.02901}{18}*1000$

$= 0.001616*1000$

$= 1.616 M$

As we assume that the sea water contains only NaCl, if NaCl dissociates to Na⁺ and Cl⁻; we have $\frac{1.616}{2} =0.808 M$

Heroin was originally going to be called "wunderlich", a German word for wonderful, since one chemist thought the substance made

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

heroic

Explanation:

Bayer, a German pharmaceutical company, named the substance it synthesized "heroin", probably from the word heroisch, German for heroic, because in field studies people using the medicine felt "heroic".

BTW, I found this information on this wedsite: https://www.answers.com/Q/Where_did_heroin_get_its_name
