Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.

CaCl2 --> Ca2+   +   Cl-

In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Answer: 1. Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l) : oxidation reduction

2. Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq) : precipitation

3. CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l) : Double displacement

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place. Double displacement reaction in which one of the product remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Such double displacement reaction are called as precipitation reaction.

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Synthesis/Combination reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

The gas law for an ideal gas at absolute temperature T (in kelvins), pressure P (in atmospheres), and volume V (in liters) is PV
allsm [11]

Answer:

The rate of change of the temperature is 0.0365 Kelvin per minute.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Given data

ideal gas law: P*V = n*R*T

with P= pressure of the gas ( in atm) = 9.0 atm

with V= volume of the gass (in L) =12L

with n = number of moles = 10 moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L*atm* K^−1*mo^−1

T = temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

The volume  decreases with a rate of 0.17L/min = dV/dT  = -0.17

The pressure increases at a rate of 0.13atm/min = dP/dT

<u>Step 2:</u> The ideal gas law

P * [dV/dT] + V * [dP/dT] = nR * dT/dt

9 atm * (-0.17L/min) + 12L * 0.13atm/min = 10 moles * 0.0821 L*atm* K^−1*mo^−1 *dT/dt

0.03 = 0.821 * dT/dt

dT/dt = 0.03/0.821

dT/dt = 0.0365

Since the gas constant is expressed in Kelvin and not in °C, this means that <u>the rate of chagnge of the temperature is 0.0365 Kelvin per 1 minute.</u>
