The molar mass of the unknown gas is determined as 17.75 g.

<h3>Rate of gas diffusion</h3>

The rate of gas diffusion is given by Graham's law.

R₁√M₁ = R₂√M₂

where;

R₁ is the rate of diffusion of the unknown gas
M₁ is the molecular mass of the unknown gas
R₂ is rate of diffusion of chlorine gas
M₂ is the molecular mass of chlorine gas

$\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1} } \\\\\frac{2R_2}{R_2} = \sqrt{\frac{71}{M_1} }\\\\2 = \sqrt{\frac{71}{M_1} }\\\\2^2 = \frac{71}{M_1} \\\\M_1 = \frac{71}{4} \\\\M_1 = 17.75 \ g$

Elenna [48]

Answer:

A. In a graduated cylinder, put some quantity of water and measure the initial volume. Then put a coin and measure the volume. To find the volume of the coin, simply subtract the initial volume (water only) from the ending volume (water + coin). To measure the mass, take a dry coin and place it on an electronic scale. Density = mass / volume, so divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the coin.

B. When measuring the volume, make sure to look at the graduated cylinder at eye level and read from the bottom of the meniscus.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE HELPPPPPPPP I BEGGGGG FOR HELPPPPP

Answer: There are $21.08\times 10^{23}$ molecules in 63.00 g of $H_2O$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{63.00g}{18g/mol}=3.5moles$

1 mole of $H_2O$ contains = $6.023\times 10^{23}$ molecules

Thus 3.5 moles of $H_2O$ contains = $\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 3.5=21.08\times 10^{23}$ molecules.

There are $21.08\times 10^{23}$ molecules in 63.00 g of $H_2O$

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate, NiSO4?

guapka [62]

As I understand from your question, we should synthesize nickel sulfate first from nickel (II) oxide and sulfuric acid and second from nickel carbonate and sulfuric acid.

The chemical reactions will look like this:

NiO (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

NiCO₃ (aq)* + H₂SO₄ → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂CO₃ (aq)

but carbonic acid will decompose to carbon dioxide and water

H₂CO₃ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

(*) NiCO₃ has a poor solubility in water, but enough to start the reaction.
