Answer:

The empirical formula is = $NiO$

Explanation:

Given that:- Mass of nickel = 2.241 g

Mass of the oxide formed = 2.852 g

Mass of the oxygen reacted = Mass of the oxide formed - Mass of nickel = 2.852 g - 2.241 g = 0.611 g

Molar mass of nickel = 58.6934 g/mol

Moles of nickel = $\frac{2.241}{58.6934}\ mol$ = 0.03818 mol

Molar mass of oxygen = 15.999 g/mol

Moles of nickel = $\frac{0.611}{15.999}\ mol$ = 0.03818 mol

Taking the simplest ratio for Ni and O as:

0.03818 : 0.03818 = 1 : 1

<u>The empirical formula is = $NiO$ </u>

A student needed to make 100.0 mL of 0.20M NaOH solution. How many grams of sodium hydroxide does the student need to weigh out

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.08 g

Explanation:

100.0 mL = 0.10 L

Multiply the volume by the molarity to find moles.

0.10 L × 0.20 M = 0.002 mol

Convert moles to grams.

0.002 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.08 g

onsider the reaction, NO2(g) + CO(g) → NO(g) + CO2(g), for which the rate law has been determined to be: Rate = k[NO2]2[CO]. Whi

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Rate of the reaction is a change in the concentration of any one of the reactant or product per unit time.

$NO_2(g) + CO(g)\rightarrow NO(g) + CO_2(g)$

Rate of the reaction:

$R=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[NO_2]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{1}\times \frac{d[CO]}{dt}$

Rate of decrease in nitrogen dioxide concentration is equal to the rate of decrease in carbon monoxide.

Given rate expression of the reaction:

$R = k[NO2]^2[CO]$

Rate of the reaction on doubling concentration of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide : R'

$R'=k(2\times [NO_2])^2(2\times [CO])=8\times k[NO2]^2[CO]=8R$

Doubling the concentrations of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide simultaneously will increase the rate of the reaction by a factor of eight.

Hence, none of the given statements are true.

Explain how copper conducts electricity?

gladu [14]

Answer:

Copper is a metal made up of copper atoms closely packed together. As a result, the electrons can move freely through the metal. For this reason, they are known as free electrons. They are also known as conduction electrons because they help copper be a good conductor of heat and electricity.
