Answer:

Fe(CN)₂, FeCO₃, Pb(CN)₄, Pb(CO₃)₂

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

2.) FeCO₃

-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

3.) Pb(CN)₄

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Pb(CO₃)₂

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0

Purification of nickel can be achieved by electrorefining nickel from an impure nickel anode onto a pure nickel cathode in an el

Alexxandr [17]

Answer: 530 hours

Explanation:

The reduction of Nickel ions to nickel is shown as:

$Ni^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Ni$

$96500\times 2=193000Coloumb$ of electricity deposits 1 mole of Nickel

1 mole of Nickel weighs = 58.7 g

Given quantity = 18.0 kg = 18000 g (1kg=1000g)

58.7 g of Nickel is deposited by 193000 C of electricity

18000 g of Nickel is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{58.7}\times 18000=59182282.8C$ of electricity

$Q=I\times t$

where Q= quantity of electricity in coloumbs = 59182282.8C

I = current in amperes = 31.0 A

t= time in seconds = ?

$59182282.8C=31.0A\times t$

$t=1909105.9sec$

(1h=3600 sec)

$t=530hours$

Thus 530 hours are required to plate 18.0 kg of nickel onto the cathode if the current passed through the cell is held constant at 31.0 A

One way of obtaining pure sodium carbonate is through the decomposition of the mineral trona, Na3(CO3)(HCO3)·2H2O. 2Na3(CO3)(HCO

zhenek [66]

Percentage yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100%

The balanced equation for the decomposition is,
2Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) → 3Na₂CO₃(s) + CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

The stoichiometric ratio between Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) and Na₂CO₃(s) is 2 : 3

The decomposed mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 1000 kg
= 1000 x 10³ g

Molar mass of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = 226 g mol⁻¹
moles of Na₃(CO₃)(HCO₃)·2H₂O(s) = mass / molar mass
= 1000 x 10³ g / 226 g mol⁻¹
= 4424.78 mol

Hence, moles of Na₂CO₃ formed = 4424.78 mol x $\frac{3}{2}$
= 6637.17 mol

Molar mass of Na₂CO₃ = 106 g mol⁻¹

Hence, mass of Na₂CO₃ = 6637.17 mol x 106 g mol⁻¹
= 703540.02 g
= 703.540 kg

Hence, the theoretical yield of Na₂CO₃ = 703.540 kg
Actual yield of Na₂CO₃ = 650 kg

Percentage yield = (650 kg / 703.540 kg) x 100%
= 92.34%
