A laboratory technician combined sodium hydroxide with excess iron(II) nitrate. A reaction took place according to this chemical

equation: 2NaOH + Fe(NO3)2 → NaNO3 + Fe(OH)2.
The reaction produced 3.70 grams of iron(II) hydroxide.

Assuming the reaction came to completion, what was the initial mass of sodium hydroxide? Use the periodic table.

A. 1.6 g
B. 2.0 g
C. 3.3 g
D. 4.0 g

 The initial  mass  of sodium hydroxide  is  3.3 g (answer C)

 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

Step 1 : find the  moles of iron (ii) hydroxide (  Fe(OH)₂

moles =  mass÷  molar mass

from periodic table the  molar mass of Fe(OH)₂  = 56 + [16 +1]2  = 90 g/mol

moles  is therefore = 3.70 g÷ 90 g/mol = 0.041 moles

Step 2:  use the mole ratio to  calculate the moles of  sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

   from given equation  NaOH : Fe(OH)₂    is 2 :1

therefore the moles of NaOH = 0.041 x 2 = 0.082 moles

Step 3: find  mass of NaOH

mass = moles x molar mass

from the periodic table the  molar mass of NaOH = 23 +16 +1  = 40 g/mol

mass  = 0.082  moles x 40 g/mol = 3.3 g ( answer C)

A complex ion that forms in solution has a structure that:____.
xeze [42]

Answer:

can only be determined experimentally.

Explanation:

In the early days of inorganic chemistry, the structure of complex ions remained a mystery hence the name ''complex''.

These ions appear to have structures that defied accurate elucidation. However, by diligent laboratory investigation, Alfred Werner was able to accurately determine the structure of cobalt complexes. As a result of this, he is regarded as a pathfinder in coordination chemistry.

Hence, the structure of complex ions can only be determined experimentally.

0.250 moles of NaCl is dissolved in 0.850 L of solution. What is the molar concentration?
Nuetrik [128]

Considering the definition of molarity, the molar concentration is 0.294 \frac{moles}{liter}.

Molarity reflects the concentration of a solution indicating the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

molarity=\frac{amount of moles of solute}{volume}

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}.

In this case, you know:

  • amount of moles of solute= 0.250 moles
  • volume= 0.850 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

molarity=\frac{0.250 moles}{0.850 L}

Solving:

molarity= 0.294 \frac{moles}{liter}

Finally, the molar concentration is 0.294 \frac{moles}{liter}.

The ksp value for lead(ii chloride is 2.4 × 10?4. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii chloride?
charle [14.2K]
Molar solubility is number of moles of the solute that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated. 

The molar solubility of lead(ii) chloride with ksp value of 2.4 × 10e4 can be solve as: 

Ksp = s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s = √(2.4 × 10e4)
s =  154.9 mol/L
