A sample of bismuth weighing 0.687 g was converted to bismuth chloride by reacting it first with HNO3, and then with HCI, follow

ed by careful evaporation to dryness. The mass of the bismuth chloride obtained was 1.032 g. (a) What is the empirical formula of bismuth chloride?
(b) What is the theoretical percent of Bi in the bismuth chloride, based on this formula?

Answer:

The empirical formula is BiCl3

% Bi = 66.27 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of bismuth = 0.687 grams

Mass of bismuth chloride produced = 1.032 grams

Molar mass of bismuth = 208.98 g/mol

Molar mass of bismuth chloride = 315.33 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Step 3: Calculate moles of Bi

Moles Bi = mass Bi / molar mass Bi

Moles Bi = 0.687 grams / 208.98 g/mol

Moles Bi =  0.00329 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Cl

Mass of Cl = 1.032 - 0.687  = 0.345 moles

Moles Cl = 0.345 moles / 35.45 g/mol

Moles Cl = 0.00973 moles Cl

Step 5: Calculate mol ratio

We divide by the smaller number of moles:

Bi: 0.00329 / 0.00329 = 1

Cl: 0.0097The empirical formula is BiCl33/0.00329 = 3

Step 6: Calculate molar mass of BiCl3

Molar mass = 208.98 + 3*35.45 = 315.33 g/mol

Step 7: Calculate percent of Bi

% Bi = (208.98 / 315.33) * 100%

% Bi = 66.27 %

What mass of hydrochloric acid (in grams) can 2.7 g of sodium bicarbonate neutralize? (Hint: Begin by writing a balanced equatio
Julli [10]

Answer:

1.17 grams of HCl can neutralize 2.7 grams sodium bicarbonate

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sodium bicarbonate = 2.7 grams

Step 2: The balanced equation

HCl + NaHCO3 ⇔  NaCl + H2O + CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles NaHCO3

moles NaHCO3 =2.7 g / 84 g/mol= 0.032 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles HCl

For 1 mol NaHCO3 we need 1 mol HCl

For 0.032 moles NaHCO3 = 0.032 moles HCl

Step 5: Calculate mass HCl

Mass HCl = moles HCl * molar mass HCl

mass HCl = 0.032 * 36.46 g/mol= 1.17 grams

1.17 grams of HCl can neutralize 2.7 grams sodium bicarbonate

The first ionization energy, e, of a potassium atom is 0.696 aj. what is the wavelength of light, in nm, that is just sufficient
elena55 [62]
The formula to be used for this problem is as follows:

E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength. Also 1 aJ = 10⁻¹⁸ J

0.696×10⁻¹⁸ = (6.62607004×10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s)(3×10⁸ m/s)/λ
Solving for λ,
λ = 2.656×10⁻⁷ m or <em>0.022656 nm</em>

Which of the following characteristics do Element I and Element I have in common?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option C. The same number of energy levels.

Explanation:

From the diagram given above, element (i) belong to group 2 while element (ii) belong to group 6.

Also, both element i and ii belong to the same period (i.e period 4). This simply means that both element i and ii have the same number of energy levels.

NOTE: Elements in the same period have the same number of shells of electrons which simply means they have the same energy levels.
