When a certain powder is mixed into a solution of silver nitrate, a white precipitate forms. When the powder is added to a solut

ion of sodium hydroxide, bubbles form, which produce a noxious odor. These bubbles, when bubbled into a solution of nickel (II) hydroxide, produce a drastic color change from green to dark blue. What is the identity of this powder?

Answer:

Ammonium chloride

Explanation:

The powder is:- Ammonium chloride

When mixed with silver nitrate, white prescipitate of silver chloride is formed as:-

NH_4Cl+AgNO_3\rightarrow NH_4NO_3+AgCl

When mixed with sodium hydroxide, ammonia gas is formed which has noxious order.

NH_4Cl +NaOH\rightarrow NH_3 + H_2O + NaCl

Ammonia gas on reaction with nickel (II) hydroxide forms deep blue colored complex as shown below:-

Ni(OH)_2(s) + 6NH_3(aq)\rightarrow [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}(aq) + 2OH^{-}(aq)

Anni [7]

Answer:

Ka = 4.76108

Explanation:

  • CO(g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g)

∴ Keq = [CH3OH(g)] / [H2(g)]²[CO(g)]

                      [ ]initial         change         [ ]eq

CO(g)              0.27 M       0.27 - x        0.27 - x

H2(g)              0.49 M       0.49 - x        0.49 - x

CH3OH(g)          0                0 + x               x = 0.11 M

replacing in Ka:

⇒ Ka = ( x ) / (0.49 - x)²(0.27 - x)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.49 - 0.11)² (0.27 - 0.11)

⇒ Ka = (0.11) / (0.38)²(0.16)

⇒ Ka = 4.76108

Answer:

d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.

Explanation:

The standard reduction potentials are

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au;   1.50 V

Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V

Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V

Na⁺ + e⁻     ⟶ Na; -2.71 V

A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.

Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.

Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons,  so

Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.
