<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option E.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound having formula Ni(CO)_4

In 1 mole of the compound, 1 mole of nickel atom, 4 moles of carbon atom and 4 moles of oxygen atom are present.

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a substance contains 6.022\time 10^{23} number of particles

Number of carbon atoms in compound = 4\times 6.022\times 10^{23}

Number of nickel atoms in compound = 1\times 6.022\times 10^{23}

We are given:

Number of carbon atoms = 5.23\times 10^{24}

To calculate the number of nickel atoms for given amount of carbon atom, we use unitary method:

When 4\times 6.022\times 10^{23} number of carbon atoms are present, then 6.022\times 10^{23} number of nickel atoms are also present.

So, when 5.23\times 10^{24} number of carbon atoms are present, then \frac{4\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 5.23\times 10^{24}=1.31\times 10^{24} number of nickel atoms are also present.

Hence, the correct answer is Option E.

In Ni(CO)₄ the stoichiometry of Ni to C is 1:4
for every 4 atoms of C is attached to one Ni atom.
this means that if there are 4 atoms of C - 1 atom of Ni
in 5.23 x 10²⁴ atoms of C -1/4 x 5.23 x 10²⁴ atoms of Ni
                                        = 1.3075 x 10²⁴ atoms of Ni
the number of atoms rounded off to the second decimal place = 1.31 x 10²⁴ atoms 
correct answer is E

Answer:

pOH=9.9

Explanation:

pH=-log[H+]= -log[0.0000877]

=4.06

pOH+ pH=14

What force works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves
love history [14]

Answer:

Answer is option B . This is because water is said to be highly permeable to the underground soil and thus nourishes it , whereas capillary action will make the water flow upward sllowly , but the water is going underground so it is permeability. Also soil is porous too , but that's only if the water is in the soil , here the water is caused to go underground by some force , so porosity isnt the right option

A) Two ways to create a positive ion:
nirvana33 [79]

Positive ions are formed by atoms or molecules suffering an inelastic collision with an energetic electron in which an electron is lost from the atom or molecule (electron impact ionization). The degree of ionization of the plasma depends strongly on the electron density and energy distribution in the gas.
