The empirical formula of the compound is C. NiF₂.
<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each element</em>
The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.
So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ni to F.
Moles of Ni = 9.11 g Ni × (1 mol Ni /(58.69 g Ni) = 0.1552 mol Ni
Moles of F = 5.89 g F × (1 mol F/19.00 g F) = 0.3100 mol F
<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of the elements
Divide each number by the smallest number of moles
Ni:F = 0.1552:0.3100 = 1:1.997 ≈ 1:2
<em>Step 3</em>: Write the <em>empirical formula</em>
EF = NiF₂
Answer: Massive
Explanation: There are many galaxies out in the universe and it's possible they go on indefinitely. Out of all of these, our solar system is very very tiny. As an analogy, our universe would be like an atom which are the the smallest units of matter. There are many other galaxies that we just haven't been able to discover but they are there.
The major species in solution when solid ammonium bromate is dissolved in water is shown below
Answer:
CaCl2 + 2NaOH -> 2NaCl + Ca(OH)2
Explanation:
The solution is as follows:
The reaction is written in the attached picture.
Mol NH₃: 0.10 mol/L * 100 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.01 mol
Mol HNO₃: 0.10 mol/L * 150 mL * 1 L/1000mL = 0.015 mol
Mol NH₄NO₃ produced: 0.01 mol NH₄NO₃
Mol HNO₃ left = 0.015 - 0.01 = 0.005 mol
Hydrolyzing NH₄⁺ and applying ICE approach
NH₄⁺ --> H⁺ + NO₃⁻
I 0.01 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.01-x x x
Kh = Kw/Kb = [H⁺][NO₃⁻]/[NH₄⁺]
10⁻¹⁴/1.8×10⁻⁵ = [x][x]/[0.01-x]
Solving for x,
x = [H⁺] = 2.357×10⁻⁶ mol
The formula for pH is
pH = -log [H⁺]
Aside from 2.357×10⁻⁶ mol, let's add the H⁺ from the remaining HNO₃ which is 0.005.
Therefore,
pH = -log[2.357×10⁻⁶ mol + 0.005 mol]
<em>pH = 2.3</em>
