There are 26 electrons in the nickel ion in the compound NiS.

<h3>How many electrons does the nickel ion contain in the compound NiS?</h3>

The number of electrons in a neutral Nickel atom is obtained from the atomic number of Nickel.

The atomic number of Nickel is 28, therefore, the neutral nickel atom has 28 electrons.

In the compound NiS, nickel atom loses two electrons to to form the nickel ion.

Number of electrons left = 28 - 2 = 26

Therefore, there are 26 electrons in the nickel ion in the compound NiS.

In conclusion, nickel atom loses two electrons to form nickel ion in NiS.

arlik [135]

Answer: The empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2$ = 12.24 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 2.505 g

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 12.24 g of carbon dioxide, = $\frac{12}{44}\times 12.24=3.338g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 2.505 g of water, = $\frac{2}{18}\times 2.505=0.278g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (5.287) - (3.338+0.278) = 1.671 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of C = $\frac{\text{ given mass of C}}{\text{ molar mass of C}}= \frac{3.338g}{12g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of H= $\frac{\text{ given mass of H}}{\text{ molar mass of H}}= \frac{0.278g}{1g/mole}=0.278moles$

Moles of O= $\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{1.671g}{16g/mole}=0.104moles$

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For C = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For H = $\frac{0.278}{0.104}=3$

For O = $\frac{0.104}{0.104}=1$

The ratio of C : H : O = 3: 3: 1

Hence the empirical formula is $C_3H_3O$ .

A solution is made by mixing 33.0 ml of ethanol, C2H6O and 67.0 ml of water. Assuming ideal behavior, what is the vapor pressure

ivann1987 [24]

Grams ethanol = 33 ml times .789 gms/ml = 26.037 gms

Moles ethanol = 26.037 gms / 46 gms/mole = .57 moles 

Moles water = 67 ml or 67 grams/18 gms/mole = 3.22 moles 

total moles = .57 + 3.72 = 4.29 moles 

Mole fraction ethanol = .57 moles ethanol / 4.29 moles total = 0.13

Moles fraction water = 3.72 moles water / 4.29 moles total = 0.87

Partial pressure of ethanol = mole fraction ethanol (.13) _ times VP ethanol 43.9 torr) = 5.707 torr 

partial pressure water = mole fraction water .87) times VP water (l7.5 torr) = 15.23 torr 

Total vapor pressure over solution = 5.71 torr + 15.23 torr = 20.94 torr

What is the pressure inside a 750 mL can of deodorant that starts at 15 degrees Celsius and 1.0 atm if the temperature is raised

Sonbull [250]

The answer is: the pressure inside a can of deodorant is 1.28 atm.

Gay-Lussac's Law: the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂.

p₁ = 1.0 atm.; initial pressure

T₁ = 15°C = 288.15 K; initial temperature.

T₂ = 95°C = 368.15 K, final temperature

p₂ = ?; final presure.

1.0 atm/288.15 K = p₂/368.15 K.

1.0 atm · 368.15 K = 288.15 K · p₂.

p₂ = 368.15 atm·K ÷ 288.15 K.

p₂ = 1.28 atm.

As the temperature goes up, the pressure also goes up and vice-versa.
