The answer is B.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
a. The student performed the splint test incorrectly. He should of observed a popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
Explanation:
It is given that a student performed an experiment where he dropped a nickel metal in to HCl solution. He observed the reaction and performed a splint test in the test tube that is filled with a gas which is formed while Nickle is dropped into the solution of HCl.
But the experiment that the student performed was incorrect. He must have observed the popping sound when the splint was placed in the test tube.
When the splint was added to the gas splint flared up. The hydrogen gas pops out when exposed to the flame.

Thus the correct option is (a).
Answer:
The correct answer is 0.12 grams.
Explanation:
The mass of carbon monoxide or CO collected in the tube can be determined by using the ideal gas equation, that is, PV = nRT.
Based on the given question, P or the pressure of the gas is given as 1 atm, volume of the gas collected in the tube is 117 ml or 0.117 L.
The number of moles or n can be determined by using the equation, mass/molar mass.
R is the universal gas constant, whose value is 0.0821 L atmK^-1mol^-1, and temperature is 55 degree C or 328 K (55+273).
On putting the values we get:
n = PV/RT
= (1 atm*0.117 L) / (0.0821 L atmK^-1mol^-1 * 328 K)
= 0.0043447 mol
Therefore, mass of CO will be moles * molar mass of CO
= 0.0043447 mol * 28 g/mol
= 0.12 g
Explanation:
The reaction between calcium hydroxide and nitric acid is as follows.

Number of reactant atoms are as follows.
Number of product atoms are as follows.
To balance the given chemical equation, multiply
by 2 on reactant side and multiply
by 2 on the product side.
Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.
