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

10 moles of carbon dioxide has a mass of 440 g. What is the relative formula mass of carbon dioxide?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer: 44g

Explanation: The formular for finding Moles is ;

Moles =  Mass / Molar Mass or Formular Mass.

Base on this question; Moles = 10, Mass = 440g, and Formular Mass = ?

Making 'Formular Mass', subject of the formular; we thus have;

Formular mass = Mass / Moles = 440/ 10 = 44g

Without using Appendix B, predict the sign of ΔS° for(b) KBr(s)→ KBr(aq)
Volgvan

Since the sign is positive, the entropy increased by 88.48 J/K.

Examine the phases of the species present to determine whether a physical or chemical process will cause an increase or decrease in entropy. Keep in mind "Silly Little Goats" to aid you in telling.

[1 Sf K+1 + 1 Sf Br-1 (aq)] ([1Sf(KBr (s))])

[1(102.5) + 1(82.42)] - [1(96.44)] = 88.48 J/K

If the entropy has grown, we say that Delta S is positive, and if it has dropped, we say that Delta S is negative. Due to its ionic nature, KBr is soluble in water and causes the 'K(+)' ions to hydrate.
