What are two things that you observed when you heated the mixture of tin and nitric acid over the Bunsen burner in the virtual l

ab, and why was it necessary to heat the mixture in order to determine the empirical formula?

1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

Why is true about electron dot diagrams
vazorg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

We will analyze each of the options:

A. The group number of the element provides a clue to the number of valence electrons: it is correct, since it provides the number of valence electrons.

B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable: this is not correct, since elements with eight electrons in the valence shell cannot react because they already have the last complete shell. Therefore, they are chemically stable.

C. The points must be placed one at a time on each side of the chemical symbol: it is correct, because that is the way to make the point diagram.

D. An atom is chemically stable if all the points are paired: this is correct since this verifies that the point diagram has been done well.

We conclude that the correct answer is the option: B. An element with eight valence electrons is chemically unstable.

Hope this helps.....  Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!! :D

A 0.0200 gram piece of unknown alkaline earth metal, M, is reacted with excess 0.500 M H 2 SO 4 , and the hydrogen gas produced
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

0.981atm

Explanation:

According ot Dalton's law total pressure of a mixture of non-reactive gas is equal to sum of partial pressures of individual gases.

total pressure= 1.01at

Number of gases=2

Gases: water vapor and hydrogen

partial pressure of water vapor= 0.029atm

1.01= partial pressure of water vapor+ partial pressure of hydrogen

1.01= 0.029 + partial pressure of hydrogen

partial pressure of hydrogen = 0.981atm

Write a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide are combined.
Veronika [31]

Answer:

H^+(aq) +  OH^-(aq) -------> H2O(l)

Explanation:

We must first write the molecular reaction equation as follows;

HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) ------>NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The complete ionic equation is;

H^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq) + Na^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) -------> Na^+(aq) + NO3^-(aq) + H2O(l)

The net ionic equation therefore is;

H^+(aq) +  OH^-(aq) -------> H2O(l)
