Answer:
Explanation:
The first step is:
Second step is:
Multiplying second step by 2, and adding both the steps, we get that:
Cancelling common species, we get that:
molecules can be made of two of the same elements whereas a compound is always made of two different elements
The correct answer is b. bimolecular
Answer:
Normality N = 0.2 N
Explanation:
Normality is the number of gram of equivalent of solute divided of volume of solution, where the number of gram of equivalent of solute is weight of the solute divided by the equivalent weight.
Normality is represented by N.
Mathematically, we have :
Given that:
number of gram of equivalent of solute = 90 milliequivalents 90 × 10⁻³ equivalent
volume of solution (HCl) = 450 mL 450 × 10⁻³ L
Normality N = 0.2 N
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
