The atoms that would be expected to be diamagnetic in the ground state is  magnesium

The magnetism of an atom refers to its electronic configuration. A diamagnetic atom is an atom whose electrons are all paired.

A paired electron is an electron that occurs in pairs in its orbital shell.

At their respective ground state, the electronic configuration of the given elements are as follows:

The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s².  As such its a diamagnetic atom.

The electronic configuration of Potassium is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹. Hence, Potassium has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.

The electronic configuration of Chlorine is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁵. Hence, Chlorine has one unpaired electron in its outermost shell.

The electronic configuration of Cobalt is 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁷4s². Hence, the unpaired electrons of Cobalt in its outermost shell are three.

Therefore, the atoms that are diamagnetic in the ground state is magnesium.

The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [ HA ] = 0.260 M [HA]=0.260 M , [ H + ] = 2.00 × 10 − 4 M [H+]=
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

pKa of the acid HA with given equilibrium concentrations is 6.8

Explanation:

The dissolution reaction is:

HA ⇔ H⁺ + A⁻

So at equilibrium, Ka is calculated as below

Ka = [H⁺] x [A⁻] / [HA] = 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ x 2.00 x 10⁻⁴ / 0.260

    = 15.38 x 10⁻⁸

Hence, by definition,

pKa = -log(Ka) = - log(15.38 x 10⁻⁸) = 6.813

The electrolysis of molten NaCl is an industrial process. What does the electrolysis produce?
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

it is D

Explanation:

NaOH and chlorine gas

Electrolysis of Aqueous NaCl Since water can be both oxidized and reduced, it competes with the dissolved Na+ and Cl– ions. Rather than producing sodium, hydrogen is produced. ... The net process is the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of NaCl into industrially useful products sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and chlorine gas.

If the relative rate of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:3 and further if the density of chlorine is 36 Find out
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The density of ozone is 4.24.

Explanation:

The relation between the relative rate of diffusion and density is given by :

r\propto \dfrac{1}{\sqrt d}

The given ratio of the relative rate of diffusion of ozone as compared to chlorine is 6:3.

Let the density of ozone is d₂.

\dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}} \\\\\dfrac{6}{3}=\sqrt{\dfrac{d_2}{36}} \\\\3=\dfrac{\sqrt{d_2}}{6}\\\\d_2=\sqrt{18} \\\\d_2=4.24

So, the density of ozone is 4.24.

Which chemical equation represents a decomposition reaction?
MrMuchimi

Decomposition reaction D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Every chemical reaction involves a compound consisting of reactants and products  

Reactants are compounds that react and form new compounds called products

There are several forms of reactions that can occur, including single replacement, double replacement, synthesis, decomposition, etc.

A. 2C2H6 + 702 ⇒ 4CO2 + 6H20

Combustion : reaction of Hydrocarbon and Oxygen

B. AgNO3 + LiCl → AgCl + LINO3

Double replacement : there is an ion exchange between two ion compounds in the reactant to form two new ion compounds in the product

C. Ca + MgS → CaS + Mg

Single replacement :one element replaces the other elements of a compound to produce new elements and compounds

D. 2H20⇒ 2H2 + O2

Decomposition : One compound breaks down into 2 components
