Answer:
4s2
Explanation:
The electronic configuration of zinc in the ground state of the atom is 1s22s22p6 3s23p63d104s2. It can be written in a condensed form by showing the inert gas core as follows; [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s².
Zinc has a pseudo inert gas configuration when the 4s electrons are removed during oxidation. Hence this sublevel is usually affected when zinc atoms are oxidized according to the scheme;
Zn---->Zn^2+ + 2e-
There are two atoms of hydrogen molecules.
Answer:
3. Gas, solid
Explanation:
Deposition is the process of gas changing directly to a solid. It skips the liquid state.
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 1: C₂O₄H₂(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄H⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Chemical reaction (dissociation) 2: C₂O₄H⁻(aq) ⇄ C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
c(C₂O₄H⁻) = c(H⁺) = x.
c(C₂O₄H₂) = 0.0269 M.
pKa₁ = 1.23.
Ka₁ = 10∧(-1.23) = 0.059.
Ka₁ = c(C₂O₄H⁻) · c(H⁺) / c(C₂O₄H₂).
0.059 = x² / (0.0269 M - x).
Solve quadratic eqaution: x = c(H⁺) = 0.02 M.
pH = -log(0.02 M) = 1.7.
