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

A molecule has the empirical formula C4H6O. If its molecular weight is determined to be about 212 g/mol, what is the most likely
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The molecular formula is C12H18O3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The empirical formula is C4H6O

Molecular weight is 212 g/mol

atomic mass of C = 12 g/mol

atomic mass of H = 1 g/mol

atomic mass of O = 16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula

Molar mass = 4* 12 + 6*1 +16

Molar mass = 70 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate the molecular formula

We have to multiply the empirical formula by n

n = the molecular weight of the empirical formula / the molecular weight of the molecular formula

n = 70 /212 ≈ 3

We have to multiply the empirical formula by 3

3*(C4H6O- = C12H18O3

The molecular formula is C12H18O3
