How many moles are in a 12.0 g sample of NiC12

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nady [450]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.17 moles

Explanation:

In the elements of the periodic table, the atomic mass = molar mass. <u>Ex:</u> 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.

<em>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.</em>

Isotope b has a half-life of 3 days. a scientist measures out 100 grams of this substance. after 6 days has passed, the scientis
Brilliant_brown [7]
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.

After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g. 

Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

Why do noble gases not have electronegativity values
Mrrafil [7]

Noble gases already have eight electrons in their outer shells and they don't want to attract anymore. Since electronegativity measures the amount of attraction between an atom and an electron, noble gases do not have electronegativity.
