Explanation / Answer

Part A

Ne   =10 = 1s22s22p6

D. [2,(2,6)]

Part B

C = 6 1s22s22p2

A. [2,(2,2)]

Part C

Si = 14 = 1s22s22p63s23p2

D. [2,(2,6),(2,2)]

Part D

Sn2+(aq) + 2 e Sn(s)         E0 = -0.14V

Ni(s) Ni2+(aq) + 2e         E0 = 0.23V

--------------------------------------------------------------

Sn+2 (aq) + Ni(s) ------> Ni+2 +Sn(s) E0cell   = 0.09V

D. +0.09 volts

   Zn -----------------> Zn+2 + 2e-           E0     = + 0.76V

2Ag+1 +2e- --------> 2Ag(s)         E0 =      1.98V

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zn(s) + 2Ag+ (aq) ---------> Zn+2 (aq) + 2Ag(s)           E0cell = 2.74V

C. 2.74 volts
