Explanation:
The oxidation number of Ni is +4
To balance the given equation, we apply elemental balance and count each elements per side. There are 2 nitrogens in the left side so there should be 2 moles of NO2. Since there are already 4 moles of O in the right side, there should be 2 moles of O2. Hence answer is a. Place the coefficient 2 in front of oxygen and nitrogen dioxide.
Answer:
39.2 g
Explanation:
- 2Ni₂O₃(s) ⟶ 4Ni(s) + 3O₂(g)
First we <u>convert 55.3 grams of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni₂O₃</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:
- 55.3 g ÷ 165.39 g/mol = 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃
Then we <u>convert 0.334 moles of Ni₂O₃ into moles of Ni</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:
- 0.334 mol Ni₂O₃ *
= 0.668 mol Ni
Finally we <u>calculate how much do 0.668 Ni moles weigh</u>, using the<em> molar mass of Ni </em>:
- 0.668 mol Ni * 58.69 g/mol = 39.2 g
Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar molecules that group together to form micelles rather than be exposed to water. Hydrophobic molecules typically dissolve in nonpolar solvents (e.g., organic solvents).
