How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. Ex: Atomic mass of Carbon is 12.01 amu which means molar mass of Carbon is also 12.01g/mol.

In order to find the # of moles in a 12 g sample of NiC-12, we will need to multiply the number of each atom by its molar mass and then add the masses of both Nickel and C-12 found in the periodic table:

Molar Mass of Ni (Nickel): 58.69 g/mol

Molar Mass of C (Carbon): 12.01 g/mol

Since there's just one atom of both Carbon and Nickel, we just add up the masses to find the molar mass of the whole compound of NiC-12.

58.69 g/mol of Nickel + 12.01 g/mol of Carbon = 70.7 g/mol of NiC-12

There's 12g of NiC-12, which is less than the molar mass of NiC-12, so the number of moles should be less than 1. In order to find the # of moles in NiC-12, we need to do some dimensional analysis:

12g NiC-12 (1 mol of NiC-12/70.7g NiC-12) = 0.17 mol of NiC-12
The grams cancel, leaving us with moles of NiC-12, so the answer is 0.17 moles of NiC-12 in a 12 g sample.

P.S. C-12 or C12 just means that the Carbon atom has an atomic mass of 12amu and a molar mass of 12g/mol, or just regular carbon.

If our eyes could see a slightly wider region of the electromagnetic spectrum, we would see a fifth line in the Balmer series em

erica [24]

Answer: Wavelength associated with the fifth line is 397 nm

Explanation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

E= energy

For fifth line in the H atom spectrum in the balmer series will be from n= 2 to n=7.

Using Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )\times Z^2$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $10973731.6m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = 7

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values, in above equation, we get

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=10973731.6\times \left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{7^2} \right )\times 1^2$

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=2.52\times 10^{6}m$

$\lambda}=3.97\times 10^{-7}m=397 nm$ $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Thus wavelength λ associated with the fifth line is 397 nm

What are three functions of the excretory system

Maru [420]

Answer:

Helps eliminate waste products such as urea, uric acid ammonia, and other products via urine.

It helps maintain the osmotic level of blood and plasma.

It helps maintain the electrolyte balance in the body.

And it also helps in the metabolism of those drugs that do not get metabolized in the liver.

Explanation:

"The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess, unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism, so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body. The dual function of excretory systems is the elimination of the waste products of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and gaseous state"

The white tern is a seabird that catches fish by plunging into the water. What physical features of the bird likely make this fe

V125BC [204]

White tern catches fish including crustaceans, flying fish, squid, and others. Prior of plunging into water, it hovers initially over the water surface and then either dives or dips in the surface, without getting entirely submerged into water, and catches its target.

The food or fish is captivated in its small, however, sharp black beak that is specific as it bent upwards and tapers to a sharp point. It also possesses a long slender body with tapering, long wings, all of which encourage its diving or dipping activity into the surface of the water.
