1. The reaction for this would be:
Sn + 4 HNO₃ → SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O
The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.
2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.
Answer: 14.1g
Explanation:
Given that,
number of moles of SiO2 = 0.235 moles
Mass in grams = Z (let unknown value be Z)
Molar mass of SiO2 = ?
To get the molar mass of SiO2, use the atomic mass
Silicon = 28g;
Oxygen = 16g
i.e Molar mass of SiO2 = 28g + (16g x 2)
= 28g + 32g
= 60g/mol
Now, apply the formula
Number of moles = Mass / molar mass
0.235 moles = Z / 60g/mol
Z = 0.235 moles x 60g/mol
Z = 14.1 g
Thus, the mass of SiO2 is 14.1 grams.
It is important to use low flame when evaporating water from a recovered filtrate because then the water and filtrate will not spatter and the filtrate can also be recovered after evaporating water.
If flame is not low then water as well as got spatter so it is important to use low flame so that the water and filtrate will not spatter.
Well u said ignoring not me
The molar mass of sulfur is 32 g/mol.
The mass of 6.3 moles of Sulfur is 32×6.3=201.6 grams
