Calculate the mass (in grams) of cobalt that has the same number of atoms as 521 mg of silicon.

1 answer:

8 0

The atomic mass of silicon is 28 g/mol.
Therefore, 521 mg or 0.521 g will be equivalent to;
0.521/28 = 0.01861 mooles
Atomic mass of cobalt is 27 g/mol
According to Avogadro's law the mass of cobalt that will have the same atom as 52 mg of silicon will be ;
(0.01861 moles × 27) = 0.5024 g or 502.4 mg

A student dropped a piece of nickel metal into a solution of HCl(aq). He observed the formation of gas bubbles and collected the

omeli [17]

Answer:

a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

Explanation:

It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.

But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.

When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

$Ni + HCl(aq) = NiCl + H_2$
