8. Consider the element Scandium, atomic # 21.

(a) If the electronic configuration of the element were constructed "from scratch", into which

orbital (and into which shell) would the final electron be placed? (1)

(b) When scandium forms an ion with a charge of +1, from which orbital (and from which

shell) would the electron be removed? (1)

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

Scandium has atomic number of 21. This means that in it's neutral state its going to have 21 electrons.

a) The full electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d1 4s2

The final electron is placed in the d orbital. The shell is 3d

(b) When scandium has a charge if +1, it has lost an electron. The total number of electrons would now be 21-1 = 20

The electronic configuration would be given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

The electron in the 3d orbital would be removed.

food is actually less safe to eat. Which, if true, would most effectively dispute their idea? (1 point)
a
Irradiated food only emits alpha particles, which are harmless.
Ob
Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.
C
Irradiated food only contributes to background radiation.
Irradiated food has molecules that undergo transmutation,
Od

Answers

Answer:

b . Irradiated food is shown to not be radioactive.

Explanation:

If it can be proven that irradiated food is not radioactive, then it will effective dispute the idea that irradiated food are less safe to eat.

An irradiated food is one in which ionizing radiations have been employed to improve food quality. Thus, bacteria and other food spoilers can be exterminated from the food. Most irradiated food do not contain radiation and are fit for consumption.

If it can be proven, that this is true, then it will challenge the idea that irradiated foods are not safe.

10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.

11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume

Density:

A. 5/6 g/ml

B. 10/9 g/ml

C. 15/16 g/ml

D. 20/10 g/ml

If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.

Thanksgiving is November 26th. Today is November 9th. How many seconds are there until Thanksgiving Day?​

Answers

0 seconds because it’s November 27 :))
Assuming it is 12:00AM on November 9 and we are calculating the number of seconds until November 26, there would be 1,468,800 seconds between the dates.

Explanation:

There are 17 days between 11/9 and 11/26.

There are 24 hours in a day. Multiply the number of hours by the number of days to find the number of hours in 17 days.
24*17 = 408 hours

There are 3600 seconds in one hour (60 minutes * 60 seconds). Multiply the number of seconds per hour by the number of hours to find your solution.
3600*408 = 1,468,800

1,468,800 seconds between the dates.

Answer:

Option A. 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Number of mole of methane = 3 moles

Number of molecules of methane =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Thus, 1 mole of methane equally contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

With the above information in mind, we can obtain the number of molecules in 3 moles of methane as follow:

1 mole of methane contains 6.02×10²³ molecules.

Therefore, 3 moles of methane will contain = 3 × 6.02×10²³ = 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.

Thus, 3 moles of methane contains 1.8×10²⁴ molecules.

3. Gold-198 decays with a half-life of 2.7 days according to the equation:198Au → 0−1β + 198Cd

a. Find the value of the rate constant, k. Include units.


b. How much of a 10.0 g sample of Au-198 remains after seven days? (Use the integrated rate law formula.)

Answers

a. k=0.256/day

b.sample of Au-198 remains after seven days : 1.67 g

Further explanation

1. A half-life of 2.7 days⇒t1/2=2.7 days

The half-life can be expressed in a decay constant( λ)

[tex]\tt \displaystyle t_ {1/2} = {\dfrac {\ln (2)} {\lambda}}\\\\\lambda(or~k)=\dfrac{0.693}{2.7}=0.256/day[/tex]

2. We can use formula : (integrated rate law) :

[tex]\tt ln[A]=-kt+ln[Ao]\\\\ln(\dfrac{Ao}{A})=kt[/tex]

Ao=10 g

t=7 days

k=0.256/day

[tex]\tt ln(\dfrac{10}{A})=0.256\times 7\\\\ln(\dfrac{10}{A})=1.792\\\\e^{1.792}=\dfrac{10}{A}\\\\6=\dfrac{10}{A}\rightarrow A=1.67~g[/tex]

The mass of Au-198 that remains after seven days is 1.62 g.

We know that radioactive decay is a first order reaction hence;

k = 0.693/ t12

Where;

k = rate constant

t12 = half life

k =  0.693/ 2.7 days = 0.26 day-1

Using;

N =Noe^-kt

No = amount of radioactive material initially present

N = mass of radioactive substance present at time t

N = 10 e^-(0.26 × 7)

N = 1.62 g

The mass of Au-198 that remains after seven days is 1.62 g.
