Problem 107

Write the electron configuration and orbital diagram for an atom of a gaseous diatomic element that has a density of $1.14 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L}$ at $27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $1.00 \mathrm{~atm}$ pressure.

Problem 108

The Case Study in this chapter introduced cesium fluoride, $\mathrm{CsF}$.
(a) A $10.76-\mathrm{g}$ sample of impure $\mathrm{CsF}$ was dissolved in $100 \mathrm{~mL}$ water. The sample was mixed with excess aqueous calcium nitrate solution to precipitate insoluble calcium fluoride. The precipitate was filtered, dried, and weighed. A total of $2.35 \mathrm{~g}$ calcium fluoride was collected. What was the percentage of $\mathrm{CsF}$ in the original sample?
(b) Given the reaction
$$
\mathrm{CsF}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{HNO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow \mathrm{HF}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{CsNO}_{3}(\mathrm{aq})
$$
what volume of $\mathrm{HF}(\mathrm{g})$ is produced at standard temperature and pressure (STP) if 100.0 g CsF reacts?
(c) CsF is not only colorless but transparent to infrared light up to a wavelength limit of $15.0 \mu \mathrm{m}$. What is the energy of a photon of light having that wavelength? What is the energy of a mole of photons of that wavelength? How many moles of photons are needed to supply the same amount of energy as produced in the reaction given in the Case Study?
