A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are moles of carbon in a sample of nickel tetracarbonyl the no. moles of oxygen are in the sample are 7.0 moles.
The chemical method of nickel tetracarbonyl is Ni(CO)4.
We can see that there are four carbon atoms and four oxygen atoms which collectively shape four carbonyl (CO) groups.
Therefore the mole ratio of C to O is 1:1.
Let us use this as a conversion factor to locate moles of oxygen.
We have 7.zero moles of carbon withinside the method.
The moles of O may be calculated as,
7molC x (1molO)/(1molC) = 7molO.
There are 7.zero moles of oxygen within side the method.
