Joan’s initial nickel (II) chloride sample was green and weighed 4.3872 g. After the dehydration reaction and removal of excess

thionyl chloride, the residue was yellow, and had a mass of 2.3921 g.
(a) Was the nickel chloride sample a hydrate? ___________________
(b) If the data indicates a hydrate, calculate x, the number of waters of hydration.

Answer:

a) yes, it was an hydrate

b) the number of waters of hydration, x = 6

Explanation:

a) yes it was an hydrate because the mass decreased after the process of dehydration which means removal of water thus some water molecules were present in the sample.

b) NiCl2. xH2O

mass if dehydrated NiCl2 = 2.3921 grams

mass of water in the hydrated sample = mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated = 4.3872 - 2.3921 = 1.9951 g which represent the mass of water that was present in the hydrated sample.

NiCl2.xH2O

mole of dehydrated NiCl2 = m/Mm = 2.3921/129.5994 = 0.01846 mole

mole of water = m/Mm = 1.9951/18.02 = 0.11072 mole

Divide both by the smallest number of mole (which is for NiCl2) to find the coefficient of each

for NiCl2 = 0.01846/0.01846 = 1

for H2O = 0.11072/0.01846 = 5.9976 = 6

thus the hydrated sample was NiCl2. 6H2O

The airbags that protect people in car crashes are inflated by the extremely rapid decomposition of sodium azide, which produces
Oxana [17]

Answer:

1. NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

2. 79.3g

Explanation:

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid sodium azide (NaN₃) into solid sodium and gaseous dinitrogen.</em>

NaN₃(s) → Na(s) + 1.5 N₂(g)

<em>2. Suppose 43.0L of dinitrogen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 13.0°C and pressure of exactly 1atm. Calculate the mass of sodium azide that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.</em>

First, we have to calculate the moles of N₂ from the ideal gas equation.

P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{1atm.(43.0L)}{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K).286.2K} =1.83mol

The moles of NaN₃ are:

1.83molN_{2}.\frac{1molNaN_{3}}{1.5molN_{2}} =1.22molNaN_{3}

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol. The mass of NaN₃ is:

1.22mol.\frac{65.01g}{mol} =79.3g

Calculate the volume of a balloon that can hold 113.4 g of nitrogen dioxide, NO2 gas at STP-
Karolina [17]

Answer:

55.18 L

Explanation:

First we convert 113.4 g of NO₂ into moles, using its molar mass:

  • 113.4 g ÷ 46 g/mol = 2.465 mol

Then we<u> use the PV=nRT formula</u>, where:

  • P = 1atm & T = 273K (This means STP)
  • n = 2.465 mol
  • R = 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹
  • V = ?

Input the data:

  • 1 atm * V = 2.465 mol * 0.082atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 273 K

And <u>solve for V</u>:

  • V = 55.18 L
