Answer:

1= Magnesium

2 = Option 3 =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶

Explanation:

An electrically neutral atom consist of equal number of protons and electrons.

The answer for 1st q is magnesium because the electronic configuration showed twelve number of electrons. The atomic number of magnesium is twelve that's why this configuration is of Mg.

Mg₁₂ =  1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

The second answer is option three because has atomic number ten and third electronic configuration have ten electrons.

Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶

It is stable electronic configuration. Neon is inert because of this electronic configuration. The outer most shell is completely filled.

How many moles are equal to 1.3 x 1024 atoms of aluminum?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.16 moles</h3>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L}  \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{1.3 \times  {10}^{24} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 2.159468...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.16 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

How many grams of water in 8.22 grams of cuso4*5h2o?
S_A_V [24]
Molar mass of CuSO4 * 5 H2O 
= 63.546 + 32 + 16*4 + 5*18 
= 249.546 g/mol
 Mass of water in that formula: 5 * 18 = 90 g/mol
Percent by mass of water = 90 / 249.546 = 36%
<span>So, 36% of your 8.22 g is water. 0.36 * 8.22= 2.95 g of water
