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

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.
