Removing two electrons from the neutral copper atom (Cu) yields the electronic configuration of Cu+2 (Copper ion with a +2 charge). A neutral copper atom has the following electronic configuration: 4s1 3d10 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Two electrons are taken out of the highest energy level, the 4s orbital, when Cu loses two electrons to form Cu+2. Cu+2’s electronic configuration as a result is:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9

Therefore, Cu+2’s proper electronic configuration is:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9 or [Ar] 3d9, 4s0

The gas emitted from landfills and marshlands is called methane. Bacteria release methane as waste material.

When organic waste is broken down by bacteria in landfills, gases are released. It primarily consists of CO2 and methane, with trace amounts of nitrogen, oxygen, and ammonia; however, methane is always the byproduct in this situation.

First, we will write the reaction’s balanced equation. This is provided below:

O2 + 2H2 —> 2H2O

We can infer from the above balanced equation that:

2 cm³ of H2 and 1 cm³ of O2 combined to form 2 cm³ of H2O.

We will then identify the excess reactant.

The following is how to obtain this:

Based on the above balanced equation,

Reaction between 1 cm³ of O2 and 2 cm³ of H2.

As a result, 10 cm³ of O2 will react with 10 × 2 = 20 cm³ of H2 = (10 × 2)/1.

Only 20 cm³ of the 50 cm³ of H2 provided is required to react fully with 10 cm³ of O2, according to the calculations above.

Consequently, H2 is the excess reactant (non-limiting reactant) and O2 is the limiting reactant.

Lastly, we will calculate the amount of the excess reactant, or non-limiting reactant, that remains after the reaction.

The following is how to obtain this:

Non-limiting reactant (H2) volume = 50 cm³

20 cm³ is the volume of the non-limiting reactant (H2) that underwent the reaction.

The amount of non-limiting reactant (H2) that is left over is equal to the volume of the non-limiting reactant minus the volume of the non-limiting reactant that reacted.

Remaining volume of non-limiting reactant (H2) = 50 – 20

= 30 cm³

Sodium is more electropositive (below Li in the group) and readily donates electrons, and it reacts with water more forcefully than lithium.

A Friedel-Crafts catalyst, like aluminum chloride, reacts with an acyl chloride when it is added, producing an acylium ion (R-CO+). The electrophile that targets the benzene ring is the acylium ion.

The right response is lipase. The hydrolysis of fats, or lipids, is catalyzed by the enzyme lipase. It enables the body to absorb and use fatty acids and glycerol by breaking down the ester bonds in triglycerides, which are the primary building blocks of dietary fats.

The alcohol content of rectified spirit is 95%. This particular form of ethanol has undergone purification via a procedure known as rectification. Ethanol and water are separated by a distillation process called rectification. After that, the ethanol is concentrated until it reaches a high purity level.

In industrial settings, rectified spirit is frequently employed as a solvent. Additionally, it is utilized in the manufacturing of alcoholic drinks like gin and vodka. However, because rectified spirit can be toxic, it is not safe to consume.

B is the right choice. Because the particles in a solid can only move a small amount, the solid has a fixed shape and volume. The particles stay in their fixed positions while vibrating back and forth. Heat causes a solid’s particles to vibrate more quickly until they have enough energy to escape their fixed positions.

“The physical and chemical properties of the elements are periodic functions of their atomic numbers” is one way to express the modern periodic law. The number of protons or electrons in a neutral atom is its atomic number.

Reason: The equation’s equilibrium changes to favor the side with more gaseous molecules when pressure is altered.

Whereas the other isomer (trans) would have distinct groups of atoms on both sides of the double bond, Option A describes isomers where one isomer (cis) has the same groups of atoms on one side of the double bond. The trans-isomer is fumaric acid, and the cis-isomer is maleic acid.

A weak acid OR a weak base and its salt are required for the formation of a buffer.

Option D cannot form a buffer solution because it contains a strong acid (HCl) and its salt (NaCl).

Option A’s base and salt are weak.

Weak acids and their salts are present in options B and C.

These combinations are incorrect because they can create buffer solutions.

Calcium phosphate made from phosphate rock or bones is one type of phosphorus fertilizer. Calcium phosphate is treated with sulfuric and phosphoric acids, respectively, to produce the more soluble superphosphate and triple superphosphate preparations.

Work is a kind of energy transmission from one system to another, and the SI unit of work is the joule. It is defined as W = F x dS, which is the product of force and distance. It should be committed to memory since it is a reality.

When all of the substances involved in the reaction are in their standard states—solutions at 1M concentrations, gases at 1 atm pressure, and solids and liquids in pure form at 25C—the standard electrode potential, represented by the symbol E°, is the potential of the reaction that takes place at the electrode.

The iodoform test is used to determine whether an unknown substance contains alcohols with the structure R-CH(OH)-CH3 or carbonyl compounds with the structure R-CO-CH3. Iodine, a base, and a methyl ketone react to produce a yellow precipitate and a “antiseptic” odor.

Because the second electron is taken out of an inner shell, the nuclear charge acting on Na is stronger, requiring more energy to remove an electron, making it the element with the largest second ionization energy. Sodium has the highest second ionization energy after losing its first electron and gaining the electronic configuration of neon, a noble gas with a fully filled orbital.

The average rate is the rate of reaction over a given time period. The rate of reaction at a particular point in time during the reaction is known as the instantaneous rate.

Option C is accurate since atoms like carbon need to hybridize their orbitals, which excite ground-state electrons to form bonds at equal energy levels.

That’s right. It is an ionic compound, and ionic compounds only have empirical formulas (formula units) rather than molecular formulas.
