A 2.241-g sample of nickel reacts with oxygen to form 2.852 g of the metal oxide. Calculate the empirical formula of the oxide?

Answer:

NiO

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know the mass of oxygen used up. This is the difference between the mass of the nickel and the mass of the oxide. This is : 2.852 - 2.241 = 0.611g

Now we convert these masses to mole by dividing by their atomic masses. The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 while that of nickel is 59

O = 0.611/16 = 0.0381875

Ni = 2.241/59 = 0.037983050847458

The next thing is to divide each by the smaller number of moles, which is that of the nickel.

O = 0381875 /0.037983050847458= 1

Ni= 0.037983050847458/0.037983050847458= 1

The empirical formula is thus NiO

You are given 50.0 ml of 1.50 m hno3. how many ml of 0.81 m naoh are needed to neutralize it?
svet-max [94.6K]
V(HNO₃) = 50.0 mL in liters = 50.0 /1000 =0.05 L
M(HNO₃) = 1.50 M

Number of moles HNO₃ :

n = M x V

n = 1.50 x 0.05

n = 0.075 moles of HNO₃

HNO₃ + NaOH = H₂O + NaNO₃

1 mole HNO₃ -------- ---1 mole NaOH
0.075 moles HNO₃ ---- ?

moles NaOH = 0.075 * 1 / 1

 = 0.075 moles of NaOH

V ( NaOH ) :

M = n / V

0.81 = 0.075 / V

V = 0.075 / 0.81

V =<span> 0.0925 L or  92.5 mL </span>

One method used commercially to peel potatoes is to soak them in a solution of NaOH for a short time and then remove them from t
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

b. 2.28 M

Explanation:

The reaction of neutralization of NaOH with H2SO4 is:

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

<em>Where 2 moles of NaOH react per mole of H2SO4</em>

<em />

To solve the concentration of NaOH we need to find the moles of H2SO4. Using the chemical equation we can find the moles of NaOH that react and with the volume the molar concentration as follows:

<em>Moles H2SO4:</em>

45.7mL = 0.0457L * (0.500mol/L) = 0.02285 moles H2SO4

<em>Moles NaOH:</em>

0.02285 moles H2SO4 * (2moles NaOH / 1 mol H2SO4) = 0.0457moles NaOH

<em>Molarity NaOH:</em>

0.0457moles NaOH / 0.020L =

2.28M

Right option:

<h3>b. 2.28 M</h3>

4) A 4.00 L balloon is filled with 0.297 moles of helium gas with a pressure
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: 149

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation; PV = nRT

P= Pressure = 0.910 atm,     T= Temperature = ?

V= Volume = 4.0L                  R = Gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm/mol/K

n = number of moles = 0.297

Making 'T' the subject of the formular, we have;

T = P V/ n R   =  0.910  x 4  /  0.297 x 0.08206

                       =  149
