Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 250.0 ml sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would rea

ct with silver nitrate solution like this:
NiCl_2(aq) + 2AgNO_3 (aq) -------> AgCl (s) + Ni(NO_3)_2 (aq)
The chemist adds 58.0m silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected of 3.6 mg of silver chloride.
1. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

0.05 mM

Explanation:

NiCl_2(aq) + 2AgNO_3 (aq) -------> 2 AgCl (s) + Ni(NO_3)_2 (aq)

Molar mass of  NiCl_2 = 129.5994 g/mol

Molar mass of AgNO_3 = 169.87 g/mol

Molar mass of AgCl = 143.32 g/mol

The chemist added 58mM of silver nitrate = 58 / 1000 = 0.058 M

mass of silver nitrate present =0.058 × 169.87 = 9.85246 g

according to the equation of reaction

2 mole of silver nitrate is needed to produce 2 mole of silver chloride  

2 mole of silver nitrate = 339.74 g

2 mole of silver chloride = 286.64 g

339.74 g silver nitrate  produces 286.64 g silver chloride

unknown mass of silver nitrate produce 0.0036 g

unknown mass of silver nitrate = 339.74 × 0.0036 / 286.64 = 0.00427 g

then

1 mole of NiCl_2 reacts 2 mole of AgNO_3

129.5994 g of NiCl_2 react with 339.74 g AgNO_3

unknown mass of NiCl_2  react with  0.00427 g AgNO_3

mass of NiCl_2 = 0.00163 g

mole of NiCl_2 present = 0.00163 / 129.5994 = 0.0000126 mole

Molarity = 0.0000126 mole / 0.25 L = 0.0000504 M = 0.05 mM

How many grams of Ca metal are produced by the electrolysis of molten CaBr2 using a current of 30.0 amp for
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: 123 g

Explanation: Q =It = nzF. For Ca^2+ z= 2, t = 5.5 x 3600 s and I = 30.0

And F= 96485 As/mol

Amount of moles is n = It /zF = 3.078 mol , multiply with atomic mass 40.08 g/mol

kipiarov [429]

All other elements react with other elements to form compounds. In the special case where the reaction produces fixed numbers of the same types of atoms in exactly the same configuration, we say the elements have formed a molecule.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The switch is used to <u>disconnect</u> or <u>connect</u> an electrical circuit. When the switch is on, the circuit is <u>complete</u>, and when the switch is <u>off</u>, the circuit is open. Electrical current exists in the circuit when it is closed, but when it is open, there is no <u>electrical</u> current in the circuit. The switch determines whether the circuit is open and closed.
