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

A student determines that she used 0.0665 mol of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to completely titrate 25.00 mL of sulfuric acid solutio
AysviL [449]

To determine the concentration of one solution which is specifically basic or acidic solution through taking advantage on its points of equivalence, titration analysis is done.

Let us determine the reaction for the titration below:

2NaOH +2H2SO4 = Na2SO4 +2H2O

 

So,

0.0665 mol NaOH (2 mol H2SO4/ 2mol NaOH) / .025 L solution 

= 2.62 M H2SO4


The answer is the fourth option:

Given the following equation: Cu + 2 AgNO3 ---&gt; Cu(NO3)2 + 2
Temka [501]

Given the following equation; Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag, 48.97 grams of Cu are needed to react with 262g of AgNO3.

<h3>How to calculate mass of substances?</h3>

The mass of a substance can be calculated using the following steps:

Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

1 mole of Cu react with 2 moles of AgNO3

  • Molar mass of AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol
  • Molar mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

moles of AgNO3 = 262g/169.87g/mol = 1.54mol

1.54 moles of AgNO3 will react with 0.77 moles of Cu.

mass of Cu = 0.77 × 63.5 = 48.97g

Therefore, given the following equation; Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag, 48.97 grams of Cu are needed to react with 262g of AgNO3.

7.5 moles of nitrogen gas (N2) is formed in the following reaction. How many grams
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Mass = 255 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of nitrogen = 7.5 mol

Mass of ammonia formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂ + N₂      →    2NH₃

Now we will compare the moles of nitrogen and ammonia.

             N₂         :        NH₃

               1          :         2

              7.5       :       2/1×7.5 = 15

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 15 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 255 g

What properties can be used to identify substance and why?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

All substances can be characterized by their unique sets of physical and chemical properties. Properties that can be determined without changing the composition of a substance are referred to as physical properties. Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc.
