(a)
Interpretation:
The complete electronic configuration of Selenium has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Aufbau’s principle:
Aufbau’s principle states that electrons are filled into atomic orbitals in the increasing order of orbital energy level. According to the Aufbau principle the available atomic orbitals with the lowest energy levels are occupied before those with higher energy levels.
Figure 1
(b)
Interpretation:
The shorthand electronic configuration of selenium has to be given.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of valence electrons in selenium has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Valence electrons:
Valence shell is the outermost shell of an every element. Atom of every element has different electronic configurations based on the atomic number of each element. Valence electrons are those electrons that located in the outermost shell surrounding an atomic nucleus.
Example: Sodium
The atomic number of sodium is
The electronic configuration of sodium is
The outermost shell (valence shell) is
The valence electron is one.
(d)
Interpretation:
The valence electrons in the shorthand electronic configuration have to be underlined.

- 4arrow_forwardA 5.50-mole sample of NH3 gas is kept in a 1.85-L container at 309 K. If the van der Waals equation is assumed to give the correct answer for the pressure of the gas, calculate the percent error made in using the ideal-gas equation to calculate the pressure. (Use a = 4.17 atm·L2·mol−2 and b = 0.0371 L·mol−1 for the van der Waals equation.)arrow_forwardOn our campus, there are approximately 30.000 students who use 2.5 x 10° kJ of energy per day. Suppose all of that energy comes from the combustion of a carbon- hydrogen-oxygen compound in the presence of excess O2(g). 2.647 g sample of this gaseous carbon-hydrogen-oxygen compound that occupies a volume of 580 mL at 918,6 Torr and 24.00 °C. The products of the combustion of the given amount are 5.059 g CO2(g), 3.106 g H2O(1), and enough heat to raise the temperature of the calorimeter assembly from 24.00 to 38.33 °C. What is the molecular formula of this unknown compound and how many kilograms of this compound are needed to provide enough daily energy to all students on campus? (The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 4.915 kJ/°C.)arrow_forward
- Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen in the presence of plati- num to give sulfur trioxide: 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2 SO3(g) Suppose that at one stage in the reaction, 26.0 mol SO2, 83.0 mol O2, and 17.0 mol SO3 are present in the reaction vessel at a total pressure of 0.950 atm. Calculate the mole fraction of SO3 and its partial pressure.arrow_forward6. Given that the a and b constants of the van der Waals equation for acetylene gas are 4.516 bar L? mol2 and 0.0522 L mol·1, respectively. For this gas, ESTIMATE (i) the second and third virial coefficients at 300 K. (ii) at what temperature the second virial coefficient to be zero.arrow_forwardWhat volume would 20.0g of CO2 occupy at a temperature of 25 °C and a pressure of 105 kPa?arrow_forward
- How reliable is the perfect gas law in comparison with the van derWaals equation? Calculate the difference in pressure of 10.00 g of carbon dioxide confined to a container of volume 100 cm3 at 25.0 °c between treating it as a perfect gas and a van derWaals gas.arrow_forwardAt what pressure does the mean free path of argon at 25 °c become comparable to the diameter of a spherical vessel of volume 1.0 dm3 that contains it? Take σ = 0.36 nm2arrow_forwardWhen limestone (solid CaCO3) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete the lime absorbs CO₂ from the air and turns back into hard, durable 2 limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 400. L and heated to 740.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO3 has stopped changing, it is found that 3.37 kg have disappeared. P 00. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO3 and CaO at 740.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Ar Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K does not match the accepted value. р K₁ = 0 x10 р x Ś ?

Calculate the mole fraction of NH3 and its partial pressure.arrow_forwardOxygen gas is formed by the decomposition of potassium chlorate at high temperatures according to the reaction 2 KC10, (s) → 2 KC1(s)+3 0,(g). Suppose 1.23 g KCIO; is placed in a container connected to an open-end mercury manometer on a day when atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm. Once the reaction is complete, the height of the mercury column in the U-tube on the side of the reaction container rises by 172 mmHg.

The water level inside the collection apparatus was 7.2 cm higher than the water level outside. The barometric pressure was 707 torr. How many grams of zinc had to react with HCI(aq) to produce the H2 that was collected? You may need the data in the table to solve this problem. mass = i g Zn 6.0arrow_forward
