Answer:

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

To determine the reaction, we define the reactants:

FeCl₂, NaOH

We dissociate them:

FeCl₂(aq) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

NaOH (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Salts from chloride are soluble, except for Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cu⁺

The OH⁻ and the Fe²⁺ bonds to make a precipitate.

So, the molecular complete equation is:

FeCl₂(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) ↓ + 2NaCl(aq)

When we dissociate the elements, we get the net ionic equation but as we produced an state's change, the compound stays the same.

We cancel the spectators ions (the ones, that are repeated)

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s)

The value of delta for the [C_rF_6]^3- complex is 182 kJ/mol. Calculate the expected wavelength of the absorption corresponding

kirza4 [7]

Answer: Yes the absorb in the visible range.

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and energy of the wave follows the equation:

$E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}$

where,

$E$ = energy of the wave = 182 kJ/mol = 182000 J/mol

N = avogadro's number = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

h = plank constant = $6.6\times 10^{-34}Js^{-1}$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the wave = ?

Putting all the values:

$182000=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=0.65\times 10^{-6}m=650nm$ $(1nm=10^{-9}m)$

The wavelength range for visible rays is 400 nm to 750 nm, thus the complex absorb in the visible range.

How to calculate the frequency of an ion

sergij07 [2.7K]

solution:

You need to find the frequency, and they have already given you the wavelength. And since you already know the speed of light, you can use formula (2) to answer this problem. Remember to convert the nano meters to meters because the speed of light is in meters. $(1 nm = 1.0 x 10^{-9} m)$

$v=c\lambda \\v= (3.00 \times 10^8 m/s)/(6.9\times 10^-7 m) \\v = 4.35 \times 10^{14} s^{-1}$

The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/(g⋅∘ c. Calculate the molar heat capacity of water.

Xelga [282]

We are given that the specific heat of water is 4.18 J / g °C. We know that the molar mass of water is 18.02 g/mol, therefore the molar heat capacity is:

molar heat capacity = (4.18 J / g °C) * 18.02 g / mol

molar heat capacity = 75.32 J / mol °C
