Answer is D) <span>because you are adding positively charged protons, which pull in the outer electrons
</span>
The radius of an atom decreases because the atomic number, or number of protons is increasing. This not only pulls in the outer electrons due to the increasing positive charge, but also increases the mass of the atom, which has the effect of drawing electrons toward the nucleus.

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate, NiSO4?
guapka [62]

As I understand from your question, we should synthesize nickel sulfate first from nickel (II) oxide and sulfuric acid and second from nickel carbonate and sulfuric acid.

The chemical reactions will look like this:

NiO (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)

NiCO₃ (aq)* + H₂SO₄ → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂CO₃ (aq)

but carbonic acid will decompose to carbon dioxide and water

H₂CO₃ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

(*) NiCO₃ has a poor solubility in water, but enough to start the reaction.

Analysis of an unknown sample indicated the sample contained 0.140 grams of N and 0.320 grams of O. The molecular mass of the co
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

the molecular formula of the compound is N2O4

Explanation:

- Find the empirical formula

mole of N present = mass of N divided by molar mass of N = 0.140/14 = 0.01 mole

mole of O present = mass of O divided by molar mass of O = 0.320/16 = 0.02 mole

Divide both by the smallest number of mole to determine the coefficient of each, the smallest number of mole is 0.01 thus:

quantity of N = 0.01/0.01 = 1

quantity of O = 0.02/0.01= 2

thus the empirical formula = NO2

- Now determine the molecular formula by finding the ratio of molecular formula and empirical formula

Molar mass of molecular formula = 92.02 amu = 92.02 g/mole

Molar mass of empirical formula NO2 = (14 + (16 x 2)) = 46 g/mole

the x factor = 92.02/46 = 2

Molecular formula = 2 x NO2 = N2O4
