Answer:

The answer to your question is a) 51.07 g of NiBr₂   b) Nickel, 54 g

Explanation:

Data

mass of NiBr₂ = ?

mass if Ni = 67.8 g

mass of Br = 37.3 g

Balanced chemical reaction

                Ni  +  Br₂   ⇒   NiBr₂

Process

1.- Find the atomic mass of the reactants and the molar mass of the product

Ni = 59 g

Br = 79.9 x 2 = 159.8 g

NiBr₂ = 59 + 159.8 = 218.8 g

2.- Find the limiting reactant

theoretical yield  Ni/Br₂ = 59/159.8 = 0.369

experimental yield Ni/Br₂ = 67.8/37.3 = 1.81

The limiting reactant is Bromine because the experimental yield was lower than the theoretical yield.

3.- Calculate the mass of NiBr₂

                    159.8 g of Br₂ --------------- 218.8 g of NiBr₂

                      37.3 g of Br₂ --------------  x

                          x = (37.3 x 218.8) / 159.8

                          x = 8161.24/159.8

                          x = 51.07 g of NiBr₂

4.- Find the excess reactant

The excess reactant is Nickel

                59 g of Ni ---------------- 159.8 g of Br₂

                  x               ----------------  37.3 g of Br₂

                            x = (37.3 x 59)/159.8

                            x = 2200.7/159.8

                            x = 13.77 g of Ni

Excess Ni = 67.8 - 13.77

                 = 54 g

  it  is  called the  partial pressure   because    it  is    pressure  that   is  exerted by  each gas in  a mixture of  gases if it occupy  the same   volume  of  it  own.  the  the partial pressure  of oxygen  in the air sample above is  100 mm hg, that of  carbon dioxide is 40 mmhg, for   water vapor  47 mmhg. and that of  nitrogen  is 573 mmhg

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

All three lighter boron trihalides, BX3 (X = F, Cl, Br), form stable adducts with common Lewis bases. Their relative Lewis acidities can be evaluated in terms of the relative exothermicities of the adduct-forming reaction. Such measurements have revealed the following sequence for the Lewis acidity: BF3 < BCl3 < BBr3 (in other words, BBr3 is the strongest Lewis acid).

This trend is commonly attributed to the degree of π-bonding in the planar boron trihalide that would be lost upon pyramidalization (the conversion of the trigonal planar geometry to a tetrahedral one) of the BX3 molecule, which follows this trend: BF3 > BCl3 > BBr3 (that is, BBr3 is the most easily pyramidalized). The criteria for evaluating the relative strength of π-bonding are not clear, however. One suggestion is that the F atom is small compared to the larger Cl and Br atoms, and the lone pair electron in the 2pzorbital of F is readily and easily donated, and overlaps with the empty 2pz orbital of boron. As a result, the [latex]\pi[/latex] donation of F is greater than that of Cl or Br. In an alternative explanation, the low Lewis acidity for BF3 is attributed to the relative weakness of the bond in the adducts F3B-L.
