3 0

Silicon is a chemical element with the symbol Si and atomic number 14. It is a hard, brittle crystalline solid with a blue-grey metallic lustre, and is a tetravalent metalloid and semiconductor. It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table: carbon is above it; and germanium, tin, and lead are below it.

Answer:

[Ne] 3s² 3p²

Explanation:

Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining two electrons. Therefore the Silicon electron configuration will be 1s²2s²2p^63s²3p². The configuration notation provides an easy way for scientists to write and communicate how electrons are arranged around the nucleus of an atom.

How many grams are in 3.14 x 1015 molecules of CO?

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Not Many

1 mol of CO has a mass of

C = 12

O = 16

1 mol = 28 grams.

1 mol of molecules = 6.02 * 10^23

x mol of molecules = 3.14 * 10^15 Cross multiply

6.02*10^23 x = 1 * 3.14 * 10^15 Divide by 6.02*10^23

x = 3.14*10^15 / 6.02*10^23

x = 0.000000005 mols

x = 5*10^-9

1 mol of CO has a mass of 28

5*10^-9 mol of CO has a mass of x Cross Multiply

x = 5 * 10^-9 * 28

x = 1.46 * 10^-7 grams

Answer: there are 1.46 * 10-7 grams of CO if only 3.14 * 10^15 molecules are in the sample

A sample of nitrogen gas occupies a volume of 2.55 L when it is at 755 mm Hg and 23 degrees Celsius. Use this information to det

ivolga24 [154]

<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of nitrogen gas are 0.1043 moles and the pressure when volume and temperature has changed is 461.6 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the amount of nitrogen gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas which follows:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 755 mmHg

V = Volume of the gas = 2.55 L

T = Temperature of the gas = $23^oC=[23+273]K=296K$

R = Gas constant = $62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$755mmHg\times 2.55L=n\times 62.364\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 296K\\\\n=\frac{755\times 2.55}{62.364\times 296}=0.1043mol$

To calculate the pressure when temperature and volume has changed, we use the equation given by combined gas law.

The equation follows:

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1,V_1\text{ and }T_1$ are the initial pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

$P_2,V_2\text{ and }T_2$ are the final pressure, volume and temperature of the gas

We are given:

$P_1=755mmHg\\V_1=2.55mL\\T_1=23^oC=[23+273]K=296K\\P_2=?\\V_2=4.10L\\T_2=18^oC=[18+273]K=291K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{755mmHg\times 2.55L}{296K}=\frac{P_2\times 4.10L}{291K}\\\\P_2=\frac{755\times 2.55\times 291}{4.10\times 296}=461.6mmHg$

Hence, the number of moles of nitrogen gas are 0.1043 moles and the pressure when volume and temperature has changed is 461.6 mmHg

What will be produced at the cathode during the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of magnesium iodide, MgI2

natita [175]

Answer:

At the cathode during the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of magnesium iodide, MgI2 , 2I−(aq) is produced

Explanation:

At cathode, reduction reaction takes place.

The dissociation of MgI2 in aqueous solution is Mg2+(aq) and 2I−(aq)

Here, the Iodine reduces to 2I−(aq) from state of 0 (MgI2) to state of -1 (2I−(aq))

Hence, at the cathode during the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of magnesium iodide, MgI2 , 2I−(aq) is produced
