What quantum numbers specify these subshells 5s 6p 4d?

1 answer:

7 0

Quantum numbers are used to describe the location of electrons in atoms.
Principal quantum number(n) tells which energy shell the electrons reside in.
The first energy shell n = 1, second energy shell n = 2 and it goes on.
Azimuthal quantum number (l) states which orbital the electron is most likely to reside in. the number of orbitals in an energy shell depends on the principal quantum number. number of orbitals are from 0 to n-1
If l = 0, s orbital
l = 1 , p orbital
l = 2, d orbital
in 2nd energy shell the number of orbitals are 0,1 etc.

5s-
Principal quantum number n = 5
Azimuthal quantum number l = 0

6p
Principal quantum number n = 6
Azimuthal quantum number l = 1

4d
Principal quantum number n = 4
Azimuthal quantum number l = 2

A 4.36-g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 mL of water. An acid-base indicator is added, and the

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Rb+

Explanation:

Since they are telling us that the equivalence point was reached after 17.0 mL of 2.5 M HCl were added , we can calculate the number of moles of HCl which neutralized our unknown hydroxide.

Now all the choices for the metal cation are monovalent, therefore the general formula for our unknown is XOH and we know the reaction is 1 equivalent acid to 1 equivalent base. Thus we have the number of moles, n, of XOH and from the relation n = M/MW we can calculate the molecular weight of XOH.

Thus our calculations are:

V = 17.0 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.017 L

2.5 M HCl x 0.017 L = 2.5 mol/ L x 0.017 L = 0.0425 mol

0.0425 mol = 4.36 g/ MW XOH

MW of XOH = (atomic weight of X + 16 + 1)

so solving the above equation we get:

0.0425 = 4.36 / (X + 17 )

0.7225 +0.0425X = 4.36

0.0425X = 4.36 -0.7225 = 3.6375

X = 3.6375/0.0425 = 85.59

The unknown alkali is Rb which has an atomic weight of 85.47 g/mol

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide , carbon dioxide , n

mylen [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Burning a compound of calcium, carbon, and nitrogen in oxygen in a combustion train generates calcium oxide (CaO), carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ , nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$ , and no other substances. A small sample gives 2.389 g CaO, 1.876 g $CO_2$ , and 3.921 g $NO_2$ Determine the empirical formula of the compound.

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is $CaCN_2$

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having calcium, carbon and nitrogen follows:

$Ca_xC_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CaO+CO_2+NO_2$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of calcium, carbon and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CaO = 2.389 g

Mass of $CO_2=1.876g$

Mass of $NO_2=3.921g$

We know that:

Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56 g/mol

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of nitrogen dioxide = 46 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 1.876 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 1.876=0.5116g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of nitrogen:

In 46 g of nitrogen dioxide, 14 g of nitrogen is contained.

So, in 3.921 g of nitrogen dioxide, $\frac{14}{46}\times 3.921=1.193g$ of nitrogen will be contained.

For calculating the mass of calcium:

In 56 g of calcium oxide, 40 g of calcium is contained.

So, in 2.389 g of calcium oxide, $\frac{40}{56}\times 2.389=1.706g$ of calcium will be contained.

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Calcium = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Calcium}}{\text{Molar mass of Calcium}}=\frac{1.706g}{40g/mole}=0.0426moles$

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{0.5116g}{12g/mole}=0.0426moles$

Moles of Nitrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Nitrogen}}=\frac{1.193g}{14g/mole}=0.0852moles$

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0426 moles.

For Calcium = $\frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1$

For Carbon = $\frac{0.0426}{0.0426}=1$

For Nitrogen = $\frac{0.0852}{0.0426}=2$

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of Ca : C : N = 1 : 1 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $CaCN_2$

A sample of gas contains 0.1700 mol of NH3(g) and 0.2125 mol of O2(g) and occupies a volume of 17.8 L. The following reaction ta

telo118 [61]

Answer:

The volume of the sample after the reaction takes place is 19.78 L.

Explanation:

The given variables are;

Number of moles of NH₃(g) = 0.1700 mol

Number of moles of O₂(g) = 0.2125 mol

Volume occupied by the mixture = 17.8 L

The reaction

4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(g)

Then takes place

That is 4 moles of NH₃(g) reacts with 5 moles of O₂(g) to produce 4 moles of NO(g) and 6 moles of H₂O(g).

Since there are less number of moles of NH₃(g) (= 0.1700 mol) in the mixture, we factor the above equation by the number of moles of NH₃(g) present.

That is,

1 moles of NH₃(g) reacts with 5/4 moles of O₂(g) to produce 1 moles of NO(g) and 3/2 moles of H₂O(g).

Therefore,

0.1700 mol of NH₃(g) reacts with 5/4×0.1700 moles of O₂(g) to produce 0.1700 moles of NO(g) and 3/2×0.1700 moles of H₂O(g).

Which gives

0.1700 mol of NH₃(g) reacts with 0.2125 moles of O₂(g) to produce 0.1700 moles of NO(g) and 0.255 moles of H₂O(g).

Therefore, all of the NH₃(g) and O₂(g) are consumed in the reaction and the present gases in sample then becomes

0.1700 moles of NO(g) and 0.255 moles of H₂O(g).

Total number of moles of reactant = 0.17 + 0.2125 = 0.3825

Total number of moles of product formed = 0.17 + 0.255 = 0.425

However, Avogadro's law states that equal volume of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contains equal number of molecules.

That is volume occupied by 0.3825 moles of gas = 17.8 L

Therefore the volume occupied by 0.425 moles of gas = 17.8×0.425/0.3825 L = 19.78 L
