Answer:

The law of conservation of energystates that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Whether a chemical reaction absorbs or releases energy,there is no overall change in the amount of energy during the reaction.

A solution of 100.0 mL of 0.200 M KOH is mixed with a solution of 200.0 mL of 0.150 M NiSO4. (a) Write the balanced chemical equ

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) 2KOH + NiSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + Ni(OH)₂

b) Ni(OH)₂

c) KOH

d) 0.927 g

e) K⁺=0.067 M, SO₄²⁻=0.1 M, Ni²⁺=0.067 M

Explanation:

a) The equation is:

2KOH + NiSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + Ni(OH)₂ (1)

b) The precipitate formed is Ni(OH)₂

c) The limiting reactant is:

$n_{KOH} = V*M = 100.0 \cdot 10^{-3} L*0.200 mol/L = 0.020 moles$

$n_{NiSO_{4}} = V*M = 200.0 \cdot 10^{-3} L*0.150 mol/L = 0.030 moles$

From equation (1) we have that 2 moles of KOH react with 1 mol of NiSO₄, so the number of moles of KOH is:

$n = \frac{2}{1}*0.030 moles = 0.060 moles$

Hence, the limiting reactant is KOH.

d) The mass of the precipitate formed is:

$n_{Ni(OH)_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}*n_{KOH} = \frac{1}{2}*0.020 moles = 0.010 moles$

$m = n*M = 0.010 moles*92.72 g/mol = 0.927 g$

e) The concentration of the SO₄²⁻, K⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions are:

$C_{K^{+}} = \frac{2*\frac{1}{2}*n_{KOH}}{V} = \frac{0.020 moles}{0.300 L} = 0.067 M$

$C_{SO_{4}^{2-}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}*n_{KOH + (0.03 - 0.01)}}{V} = \frac{0.030 moles}{0.300 L} = 0.1 M$

$C_{Ni^{2+}} = \frac{0.020 moles}{0.300 L} = 0.067 M$

Lose electrons - electrons want to fill their outer valence shell, so sometimes instead of gaining it is easier to lose some and have a filled outer shell

Why can you change physical properties and not make a new substance but can't change chemical properties and stay the same?

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Well this has a good chance of being wrong but i wanna say,

When you change a physical property of something it doesn't affect the chemicals that make it up. Like Ice, you can freeze water to make ice. You change a physical property (state of matter) but it's chemical properties don't change because in the end it's still water.

However if you remove a chemical property from something you are changing what made the new substance with will also change the substance along with it.

That's just what I think though
