What is the electronic configuration of carbon in it’s excited state? Correct Answer 1s22s22p3

The electronic configuration of carbon in its ground state is given by 1s22s22p4. When it’s in an excited state, that is when it loses an electron, that would be from 2p-orbital. So the excited state’s electronic configuration is 1s22s22p3.

In the carbonation of a soft drink, the total quantity of carbon dioxide required is the equivalent of 3 volumes of gas to one volume of water at 0⁰C and atmospheric pressure. Calculate (i) the mass fraction and (ii) the mole fraction of the CO2 in the drink, ignoring all components other than CO2 and water. Basis 1 m3 of water = 1000 kg Volume of carbon dioxide added = 3 m3 From the gas equation, pV = nRT 1 x 3 = n x 0.08206 x 273 n = 0.134 mole. Molecular weight of carbon dioxide = 44 And so weight of carbon dioxide added = 0.134 x 44 = 5.9 kg
