Which atom would be expected to have a half-filled 3d subshell?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Manganese: Mn

Explanation:

The elestron configuration would show this is 25 electrons

Atomic number : 25

this electron configuration ends in 3d^{5}

half of the d subshell which is 10

A flask at room temperature contains exactly equal amounts (in moles) of nitrogen and xenon.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

a) Same

b) Nitrogen

c) Same

d) Nitrogen

Explanation:

a)

The formula for partial pressure of a gas is equal to

p_B = n_B \frac{RT}{V}

Here nB is the number of moles .

The number of moles for both the gases are same and hence the partial pressure for the two gases will also be same.

b) The greater average velocity is calculated by using following formula

v_{RMS} = \sqrt{3RTM}

Here M is the molar mass.

Molar mass of nitrogen is greater than the molar mass of xenon and hence nitrogen will have higher greater average velocity

c) As we know, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is dependent on the absolute temperature of gas and if all the gases are at same temperature, their kinetic energy will also be same. Since nitrogen and xenon are at same temperature, their kinetic energy will be same

d) Effusivity is depended directly on  the thermal conductivity,  density and  and the specific heat capacity.

All these three parameters are higher in case of nitrogen. Thus, it will effuse first

Among the elements of the main group, the first ionization energy increases
Contact [7]

Answer is: a. from left to right across a period.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron, earth alkaline metals (right next to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.

Nonmetals are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.

An experimental set up involves a cell with pumps that maintain high K+ and Cl- concentrations outside of the cell, and high Na+
nata0808 [166]

Explanation:

On one side , there is high concentration of potassium ion and chloride ions. And on other sides high concentration of sodium ions and phosphate ions.

[K^+][Cl^-]|[Na^+][PO_2^{-}]

Cell is permeable only to chloride ions.As we can see that chloride ions are only present on the outside of cell .

As we know solute particles move from higher concentration to lower concentration side that is to equalize the concentration of solute particles on both sides. So, chloride ion will move inside the cell until the concentration of chloride ions become equal on both the sides which will result in swelling up of cell.

Place these hydrocarbons in order of decreasing boiling point. Compound Structure butane CH3CH2CH2CH3 pentane CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3 2,
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Order of hydrocarbons in decreasing order of boiling point:

Paraffin > Hexadecane > Pentane >  Dimethylpropane > Butane

Explanation:

Boiling points of hydrocarbons depend upon:

Mass of the hydrocarbon

Intermolecular forces of interaction

Hydrocarbons of greater mass or greater number of carbons have greater molecular mass.

Molecular formula of paraffin is CH_3(CH2)_{33}CH3

Molecular formula of hexadecane is CH_3(CH2)_{14}CH3

Among given hydrocarbons, number of carbon is highest in paraffin and hence has highest boiling point.

Boiling point of paraffin is followed by hexadecane having second highest number of carbon.

Mass of dimethylpropane and pentane are comparable. But boiling point of dimethylpropane is less than pentane. This is because branching decreases intermolecular force of attraction (van der Waal's force) which leads to decrease in boiling point.

No. of carbon in butane is least among given. So its boiling point is lowest.

Hence, Order of hydrocarbons in decreasing order of boiling point:

Paraffin > Hexadecane > Pentane >  Dimethylpropane > Butane
