Answer:
e. 3.08 x 10⁻² mol of ions.
Explanation:
- Every 1.0 mole of any compound contains Avogadro's number of molecules (6.022 x 10²³).
- We can get the no. of moles of NiCl₂ using cross multiplication:
1.0 mol NiCl₂ contains → 6.022 x 10²³ molecules.
??? mol NiCl₂ contains → 6.188 x 10²¹ molecules.
∴ The no. of moles of NiCl₂ = (1.0 mol)(6.188 x 10²¹ molecules)/(6.022 x 10²³ molecules) = 1.028 x 10⁻² mol.
- NiCl₂ is ionized according to the equation:
NiCl₂ → Ni²⁺ + 2Cl⁻.
Which means that every 1.0 mol of NiCl₂ is ionized to produce 3.0 moles (1.0 mol of Ni²⁺ and 2 moles of Cl⁻).
<em>∴ The total moles of ions are released</em> = 3 x 1.028 x 10⁻² mol = <em>3.083 x 10⁻² mol of ions.</em>
If the diatomic molecule consists of atoms from two different elements, then it is aheteronuclear diatomic molecule. There are seven elements that naturally occur as homonucleardiatomic molecules in their gaseous states: hydrogen,nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine,chlorine, bromine, and iodine
