To measure the amount of nickel in some industrial waste fluid, an analytical chemist adds 0.110 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solut

ion to a 25.0 g sample of the fluid and collects the solid nickel(I) hydroxide (Ni (OH2) product. When no more Ni(OH)2 is produced, he filters, washes and weighs it, and finds that 343. mg has been produced The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: Ni2+(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) Ni(OH)2(s) + 2 Na.

Answer:

This is a precipitation reaction in which Ni(OH)₂ precipitates.

8.68%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction.

Ni²⁺(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) ⇄ Ni(OH)₂(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

This is a precipitation reaction in which Ni(OH)₂ precipitates.

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of Ni(OH)₂ is 92.71 g/mol.
  • 1 mole of Ni(OH)₂ is produced per 1 mole of Ni²⁺.
  • The molar mass of Ni²⁺ is 58.69 g/mol.

When 343 mg (0.343 g) of Ni(OH)₂ are collected, the mass of Ni²⁺ that reacted is:

0.343gNi(OH)_{2}.\frac{1molNi(OH)_{2}}{92.71gNi(OH)_{2}} .\frac{1molNi^{2+} }{1molNi(OH)_{2}} . \frac{58.69gNi^{2+}}{1molNi^{2+}} =0.217gNi^{2+}

The mass percent of nickel in the 25.0g-sample is:

\frac{0.217g}{2.50g}.100\%=8.68\%

How many grams of sucrose (c12h22o11) are in 1.55 l of 0.758 m sucrose solution? express your answer in grams to three significa
satela [25.4K]
The molecular formula of sucrose is - C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
molecular mass of sucrose - 342 g/mol
molarity of sucrose solution is 0.758 M
In 1 L solution the number of sucrose moles are - 0.758 mol
Therefore in 1.55 L solution, sucrose moles are - 0.758 mol/L x 1.55 L
                                                                           = 1.17 mol
The mass of 1.17 mol of sucrose is - 1.17 mol x 342 g/mol = 4.00 x 10² g
