Answer:
a. The reaction is endothermic.
Explanation:
The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):
ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed
If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction
Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).
Answer:
a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4
Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic
b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1
For Au+ is not paramagnetic
c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2
Mn2+ is paramagnetic
d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²
Hf2+ is not paramagnetic
Explanation:
An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.
Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.
Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.
Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.
Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.
Answer:
2.03 moles of Gold
Explanation:
Gold is one of the most precious metal metal used in many applications and mainly as a jewellery. In terms of purity it is categorized in Karats. 24 Karat is considered the purest Gold (i.e. 100 % Gold) while other Karats (14, 18, 22 e.t.c) are alloys with other metals and gyms.
Data Given:
Mass of Gold = 400 g
A.Mass of Gold = 196.97 g.mol⁻¹
Calculate Moles of Gold as,
Moles = Mass ÷ M.Mass
Putting values,
Moles = 400 g ÷ 196.97 g.mol⁻¹
Moles = 2.03 moles of Gold
(0.48 gram) x (1mole / 4.0 gram) = 0.48/4.0 = 0.12 mole
