Because hydrogen bonds can be formed between the oxygen on one molecule and the hydrogen of another molecule; which are stronger bonds compared to the weaker dipole-dipole intermolecular bonding of ethane

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. follow this method. a nickel coin has a mass of about 5 g.

Lady bird [3.3K]

The mass of a nickel coin is 5 g.
1 mol of Ni weighs 58 g. 1 mol contains 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ni.
therefore in 58 g there are 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of Ni
then in 5 g the number of Ni atoms are - 6.022 x 10²³ /58 x 5 = 5.2 x 10²² Ni atoms
Therefore number of Ni atoms are 5.2 x 10²² atoms in a nickel coin

Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissolves in cold water to the extent of 266 g per 100 cm3. What is the concentration of nitrate io

Soloha48 [4]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 22.5 M

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 266 g

Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate = 236.15 g/mole

Volume of solution = $100cm^3=100mL$

Molarity : It is defined as the moles of solute present in one liter of solution.

Formula used :

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate }\times \text{volume of solution in ml}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$Molarity=\frac{266g\times 1000}{236.15g/mole\times 100ml}=11.26mole/L=11.26M$

As calcium nitrate tetrahydrate dissociate to give 1 mole of calcium ion, 2 moles of nitrate ion and 4 moles of water.

The concentration of nitrate ion = $2\times 11.26M=22.5M$

Thus, the concentration of nitrate ion is, 22.5 M

The pOH of a solution is 10.75. What is the concentration of OH– ions in the solution?. A. –1.031 M. B. 1.778 x 10–11 M. C. 5.62

zloy xaker [14]

We are given the pOH of the solution of 10.75. pOH is the property of the solution that is related to the OH ion concentration of the solution. THe formula to be followed is pOH = -log (OH); OH- = 10^-pOH. In this case, OH- = 10^-10.75 equal to B. 1.778 x 10^-11 M
