Answer;

As and Sr ------- [Kr]

Be ------------- [He]

O and Mg ------- [Ne]

S and Ca ------- [Ar]

Explanation

  • The Be+ ion has 2 electrons, matching He. The Mg2+ and O2− ions possess 10 electrons each, like Ne.
  • S2− and Ca2+ ions each have 18 electrons, the same as Ar. The As3− and Sr+ ions hold 36 electrons, paralleling Kr.
  • Elements gain or lose electrons to reach a stable electron configuration akin to that of noble gases.
  • When atoms lose electrons, they form positive ions (cations), and when they gain electrons, they form negative ions (anions).

When forming ions, arsenic achieves the same electron count as krypton.

Berillium attains an electron configuration identical to helium upon ion formation.

Oxygen reaches the electron configuration of neon after it forms an ion.

Sulfur obtains the same number of electrons as argon when it becomes an ion.

Calcium attains argon's electron configuration upon ionization.

Magnesium gains the electron arrangement of neon after ion formation.

Strontium adopts krypton’s electron configuration as an ion.

Additional explanation:

Electron distribution within atoms follows specific principles: 

1. Aufbau principle: Electrons occupy orbitals starting with the lowest energy level progressing upward.

2. Hund’s rule: Electrons singly occupy orbitals before pairing occurs.

3. Pauli’s exclusion principle: No two electrons in the same orbital can share identical quantum numbers; they must differ in spin.

Ions form through gaining or losing electrons, where anions result from electron gain and cations from electron loss.

Arsenic (atomic number 33) gains three electrons resulting in a configuration like krypton. Beryllium (4) loses two electrons to match helium's configuration. Oxygen (8) gains two electrons, matching neon's configuration. Sulfur (16) gains two electrons equaling argon's configuration. Calcium (20) loses two electrons, also reaching argon’s electron count. Magnesium (12) loses two electrons matching neon's configuration. Strontium (38) loses electrons to achieve krypton's electron arrangement.

VMariaS [2932]
Given: Mass of the ionic compound = 10.00 g Mass of water = 75.0 g Initial temperature of water T1= 23.2 C Final temperature of water T2 = 31.8 C Specific heat of water c = 4.18 J/gC To determine: Enthalpy of dissolution of the ionic compound Heat gained by water equation: Q = mcΔT m = mass of water c = specific heat ΔT = change in temperature (T2-T1) Q = 75.0 g * 4.18 J/gC * (31.8-23.2)C = 2696 J Thus, the heat gained by water equals heat lost by the ionic compound (enthalpy of dissolution) Therefore, q(ionic) = 2696 J ΔH = q(ionic)/mass of ionic compound = 2696 J/10.00 g = 2.7 *10² J/g Answer: A) enthalpy change = 2.7*10² J/g

How many molecules of PF5 are found in 39.5 grams of PF5?
Anarel [2896]

Response:

1.9 \times 10^{23} molecules of PF_5 can be found in 39.5 grams of PF_5.

Clarification:

Atomic weights: P= 31, F= 19,

The molar mass equals 1 atomic weight of P + 5 atomic weights of

 F= 31+5 × 19\times = 31+95

=126 g/mole

The number of moles in 39.5 gm of

equals \frac{Mass}{Molar mass}

 = \frac{39.5}{126}moles

 =0.3134 moles

1 mole of any substance encompasses

0.3131 moles comprises 0.3134

= 1.9 \times 10^{23} molecules

Thus, 1.9 \times 10^{23} molecules of PF_5 can be found in 39.5 grams of PF_5.

At the boiling point, the density of the liquid is 809 g/l and that of the gas is 4.566 g/l. how many liters of liquid nitrogen
KiRa [2904]

Result: 1.68 L of liquid nitrogen is generated during the gas liquefaction process.

Clarification:

This process involves transforming gaseous nitrogen into its liquid form.

The two states possess distinct densities, thus occupying varying volumes; however, the mass remains constant.

Step 1: Calculate the mass of nitrogen gas

Let’s determine the mass of nitrogen gas associated with 297 L.

The density formula is:

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

With a density of nitrogen gas at 4.566 g/L and a volume of 297 L, we can compute the mass of nitrogen gas as follows:

Using these values yields:

Mass = Density \times Volume

Mass = \frac{4.566g}{L} \times 297L

Mass = 1356g

The mass of nitrogen gas calculates to be 1356 g.

Step 2: Derive the volume of liquid nitrogen from the mass obtained

The mass for liquid nitrogen remains the same.

With the density of liquid nitrogen at 809 g/L, we can substitute this into our formula to find the volume of liquid.

Volume = \frac{Mass}{Density}

Volume = \frac{1356g}{809g/L}

Therefore, the volume of liquid nitrogen is 1.68 L.

A characteristic feature of any form of chromatography is the ________.a. calculation of an Rf value for the molecules separated
castortr0y [3002]

Answer: The right choice is (c) application of both a mobile phase and a stationary phase.

Explanation:

Chromatography: This refers to a technique for separating a mixture where the mixture is distributed between two phases at varying rates, one being stationary and the other moving.

Mobile phase: The component in which the mixture is dissolved is referred to as the mobile phase.

Stationary phase: This is an adsorbent medium that remains in place while a liquid or gas passes over its surface, thus remaining stationary.

Consequently, a key characteristic of any chromatography technique involves utilizing both a mobile and a stationary phase.
