Answer:
a) yes, it was an hydrate
b) the number of waters of hydration, x = 6
Explanation:
a) yes it was an hydrate because the mass decreased after the process of dehydration which means removal of water thus some water molecules were present in the sample.
b) NiCl2. xH2O
mass if dehydrated NiCl2 = 2.3921 grams
mass of water in the hydrated sample = mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated = 4.3872 - 2.3921 = 1.9951 g which represent the mass of water that was present in the hydrated sample.
NiCl2.xH2O
mole of dehydrated NiCl2 = m/Mm = 2.3921/129.5994 = 0.01846 mole
mole of water = m/Mm = 1.9951/18.02 = 0.11072 mole
Divide both by the smallest number of mole (which is for NiCl2) to find the coefficient of each
for NiCl2 = 0.01846/0.01846 = 1
for H2O = 0.11072/0.01846 = 5.9976 = 6
thus the hydrated sample was NiCl2. 6H2O
The answer is: the mass of 6.02 x 1023 representative particles of the element.
The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but chemist more use g/mol (gram per mole).
For example, molar mas of ammonia is 17.031 g/mol.
M(NH₃) = Ar(N) + 3 · Ar(H) · g/mol.
M(NH₃) = 14.007 + 3 · 1.008 · g/mol.
M(NH₃) = 17.031 g/mol.
The molar mass (M) is the mass of a given substance (in this example ammonia) divided by the amount of substance.
D. Common characteristics
M=43lb = 19,5kg
If 115mg --------- is for --------- 1kg
so
x ---------- is for --------- 19,5kg
x = 19,5kg * 115mg / 1kg
x = 2242,5 mg
The sun makes the moisture go into the air and evaporate
