Answer:

F, Fluorine

Explanation:

Na^+ and Mg^2+ have both lost enough electrons to bring their electron shells to that of Neon, Ne. (1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^6)

O^2- gained 2 electrons to also conform to neon's electron configuration.

F still retains its 1s^2, 2s^2, 2p^5 configuration, which would result in a slightly smaller radius as the 2p^5 electrons can pack slightly closer to the nucleus before being repelled by the negative charge of their neighboring electrons.

How have the hubble and chandra telescope helped scientists find out more about these telescopes

Paraphin [41]

Hubble has aided scientists in their understanding of the solar system. Comets and planets are observed by the telescope.

Galaxies that were there when the cosmos was still only 600 million years old have been surveyed by Hubble. Galaxies were thought to have formed when the cosmos had existed for at least the two billion years. The photos from the equipment have aided research into the evolution of galaxies.

Even previously unseen moons surrounding Pluto were found by Hubble. Scientists' understanding of how planets as well as galaxies form has been aided by the telescope.

Therefore, Hubble has aided scientists in their understanding of the solar system. Comets and planets are observed by the telescope.

What volume of solution must be added to 4.0 mol of NaCl to make a 1.2 M solution?

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 3.3 \ liters}}}$

Explanation:

Molarity is a measure of concentration in moles per liter.

$molarity=\frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}}$

The solution has a molarity of 1.2 M or 1.2 moles per liter. There are 4.0 moles of NaCl, the solute. We don't know the liters of solution, so we can use x.

molarity= 1.2 mol/L
moles of solute= 4.0 mol
liters of solution =x

Substitute the values into the formula.

$1.2 \ mol/L = \frac{4.0 \ mol}{x}$

Since we are solving for x, we must isolate the variable. Begin by cross multiply (multiply the 1st numerator and 2nd denominator, then the 1st denominator and 2nd numerator.

$\frac {1.2 \ mol/L}{1}=\frac{ 4.0 \ mol}{x}$
