Step 1
Step 1: Prepare a pure sample containing Zn2+ (for example ZnCl2, ZnSO4, or ZnO) and remove paramagnetic impurities so the zinc oxidation state is reliably +2. Show more…

The electron configuration for Zn2+ is [Ar] 3d10 and NOT [Ar] 4s23d8. What experimental evidence has been collected that would allow one to conclude that the [Ar]3d10 is correct?

2. Explain the relationship between the number of unpaired electrons and the change in mass that was observed. Be sure that this explanation is supported with evidence from the data collected. 3. Does the anion (the negatively charged ion in the salt) affect the change in mass observed? Support your claim with experimental evidence. 4. The electron configuration for Zn2+ is [Ar] 3d10 and NOT [Ar] 4s23d8. What experimental evidence has been collected that would allow one to conclude that the [Ar]3d10 is correct?
