I can't figure out how to remotely come up with an answer close to any of the multiple choice options.

How many grams of Co3+ are present in 2.34 grams of cobalt(III) nitrite?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$m_{Co^{3+}}=0.563gCo^{3+}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these mole-mass relationships are understood in terms of the moles of the atoms forming the considered compound, we first realize that the chemical formula of the cobalt (III) nitrate is Co(NO₃)₃ whereas there is a 1:1 mole ratio of the cobalt (III) ion (molar mass = 58.93 g/mol) to the entire compound. In such a way, we first compute the moles of the salt (molar mass = 58.93 g/mol) and then apply the aforementioned mole ratio to obtain the grams of the required cation:

$m_{Co^{3+}}=2.34gCo(NO_3)_3*\frac{1molCo(NO_3)_3}{244.95 gCo(NO_3)_3} *\frac{1molCo^{3+}}{1molCo(NO_3)_3} *\frac{58.93gCo^{3+}}{1molCo^{3+}} \\\\m_{Co^{3+}}=0.563gCo^{3+}$

Best regards!

In acidic aqueous solution, the purple complex ion Co(NH3)5Br2+ undergoes a slow reaction in which the bromide ion is replaced b

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

A) 0.065 M is its molarity after a reaction time of 19.0 hour.

B) In 52 hours $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ will react 69% of its initial concentration.

Explanation:

$Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)_3+[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}(Purple)(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow [Co(NH_3)_5(H_2O)]^{3+}(Pinkish-orange)(aq)+Br^-(aq)$

The reaction is first order in $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ :

Initial concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ = $[A_o]=0.100 M$

a) Final concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ after 19.0 hours= $[A]$

t = 19.0 hour = 19.0 × 3600 seconds ( 1 hour = 3600 seconds)

Rate constant of the reaction = k = $6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}$

The integrated law of first order kinetic is given as:

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$[A]=0.100 M\times e^{-6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}\times 19.0\times 3600 s}$

$[A]=0.065 M$

0.065 M is its molarity after a reaction time of 19.0 h.

b)

Initial concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ = $[A_o]=x$

Final concentration of $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ after t = $[A]=(100\%-69\%) x=31\%x=0.31x$

Rate constant of the reaction = k = $6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}$

The integrated law of first order kinetic is given as:

$[A]=[A_o]\times e^{-kt}$

$0.31x=x\times e^{-6.3\times 10^{-6} s^{-1}\t}$

t = 185,902.06 s = $\frac{185,902.06 }{3600} hour = 51.64 hours$ ≈ 52 hours

In 52 hours $[Co(NH_3)5Br]^{2+}$ will react 69% of its initial concentration.
