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

How much heat is released when 15.7g of methane (c2h6) is combusted if the enthalpy of the reaction is - 1560.7 kj
lyudmila [28]

- 407.4 kJ of heat is released.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to write the balanced equation as,

2 C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Here 2 moles of ethane reacts in this reaction.

Now we have to find out the amount of ethane reacted using its given mass and molar mass as,

2 mol C₂H₆ × 30.07 g of C₂H₆ / 1 mol C₂H₆ = 60.14 g of C₂H₆

Heat released = ΔH × given mass / 60.14

                        = - 1560. 7 kj ×15.7 g / 60. 14 g  = -407. 4 kJ

If the reactants are 10 kg what is the mass of the products
nlexa [21]

If the mass of both the reactants is 10kg then the mass of the products also equals 10kg.

It is due to the law of conservation of mass.

Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.

Cadium

Down a period, atomic radii decrease from left to right due to the increase in the number of protons and electrons across a period.
