Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?

baherus [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.

What does a chemist do

Mama L [17]

A chemist (from Greek chēm (ía) alchemy; replacing chemist from Medieval Latin alchimista[1]) is a scientist trained in the study of chemistry. Chemists study the composition of matter and its properties. Chemists carefully describe the properties they study in terms of quantities, with detail on the level of molecules and their component atoms. Chemists carefully measure substance proportions, reaction rates, and other chemical properties. The word 'chemist' is also used to address Pharmacists in Commonwealth English.

By titration, it is found that 31.7 mL of 0.145 M NaOH(aq) is needed to neutralize 25.0 mL of HCl(aq). Calculate the concentrati

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.184 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, the following data were obtained:

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1

Next, the data obtained from the question. This includes:

Volume of the base, NaOH (Vb) = 31.7 mL Molarity of the base, NaOH (Mb) = 0.145 M

Volume of the acid, HCl (Va) = 25.0 mL

Molarity of the acid, HCl (Ma) =?

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the acid (HCl) as shown below:

MaVa /MbVb = nA/nB

Ma × 25 / 0.145 × 31.7 = 1

Cross multiply

Ma × 25 = 0.145 × 31.7

Ma × 25 = 4.5965

Divide both side by 25

Ma = 4.5965 / 25

Ma = 0.184 M

Therefore, the molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.184 M
