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

Ba(OH)2 Ba+2 + 2 OH- (dissolved in solution). Which will NOT happen to the equilibrium of this solution as H+ ions are added? H+
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The reaction will move to the left.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>Ba(OH)₂ = Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻,</em>

<em>Ba(OH)₂ is dissociated to Ba²⁺ and 2OH⁻.</em>

  • If H⁺ ions are added to the equilibrium:

H⁺ will combine with OH⁻ to form water.

<em>So, the concentration of OH⁻ will decrease and the equilibrium is disturbed.</em>

<em />

<em>According to Le Châtelier's principle: </em>when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

  • So, the reaction will move to the right to suppress the effect of decreasing OH⁻ concentration.

  • The base will dissociate to form more OH⁻ and thus, the quantity of Ba(OH)₂ will decrease.

<em>So, the right choice is: the reaction will move to the left, is the choice that will not happen to the equilibrium.</em>

What is the molarity if I take 10mL of 20 volumes Hydrogen Peroxide?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

1.635 M

Explanation:

Given:

10 mL of 20 volumes Hydrogen Peroxide

Here,

20 volumes of Hydrogen Peroxide means that on decomposition of 1 mL of H₂O₂ 20 mL of O₂ is obtained

also,

means 1 dm³ of H₂O₂ solution produces 20 dm³ oxygen

Now,

at 298K and 1 atm

20 dm³ oxygen = \frac{\textup{20}}{\textup{24.47}}  moles

or

= 0.817 moles

also,

2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

thus,

1 dm³ of solution must contain 2 × moles of O₂ as moles of H₂O₂

thus,

Number of moles of H₂O₂ = 2 × 0.817

or

Number of moles of H₂O₂  = 1.635 moles

Hence,

For 20 volume hydrogen peroxide is 1.635 M
