To your unknown you add HCl to precipitate the Group A ions (Ag and Hg). This precipitate is removed and NH3 is added to it to r

edissolve the Ag and check for the presence of Hg. From the picture below which was taken right after the NH3 was added, please select a choice that best represents what you are seeing.

Options are not given, however, the following reactions occurs when Group A ions are reacted with HCl followed by NH3

Answer:

Gray precipitate is seen, which confirms the presence of mercury ions

Explanation:

Selective precipitation is a qualitative analysis, which involves addition of a carefully selected reagents to an aqueous mixture of ions. This results in the precipitation of one or more ions, while leaving the rest in solution. Later, a reaction specific to that ion is carried out separately to determine its identity.

HCl react with both Ag+ and Hg+ ions to form the following precipitates:

Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)

Hg_{2}^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl- → Hg_{2}Cl_{2}(s)

The precipitate, i.e silver chloride and mercury(I) chloride is removed and solution of NH3 is added.

Silver chloride will dissolve since its forms a soluble complex ion:

 AgCl(s) + 2NH_{3}(aq) → Ag(NH_{3})_{2}^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

However, Mercury(I) chloride will react with ammonia to form a gray solid which is actually a mixture of black mercury and white AgNH_{2}Cl :

Hg_{2}Cl_{2}(s) + 2NH_{3}(aq) → Hg(l) + HgNH_{2}Cl(s) + NH_{4}^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)

The presence of gray solid is the confirmation of the presence of Hg_{2}^{2+} ion

What is the width of this penny?
sergey [27]

Answer:

D. 1.2 cm

Explanation:

1st, determine the units. We see that our ruler is in cm.

This rules out A and C.

2nd, determine answer.

We see that the penny extends past 1 and ends at 0.2.

So, the total is 1.2 cm.

6.5 Moles of Al reacts with 7.2 Moles of H2O What is the limiting reactant and calculate the Theoretical Yield?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

H₂O is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of 240 g Al₂O₃ and 14 g H₂

Explanation:

Find how many moles of one reactant is needed to completely react with the other.

6.5 mol Al × (3 mol H₂O / 2 mol Al) = 9.75 mol H₂O

We need 9.75 mol of H₂O to completely react with 6.5 mol of Al.  But we only have 7.2 mol of H₂O.  Therefore, H₂O is the limiting reactant.

Now find the theoretical yield:

7.2 mol H₂O × (1 mol Al₂O₃ / 3 mol H₂O) × (102 g Al₂O₃ / mol Al₂O₃) ≈ 240 g Al₂O₃

7.2 mol H₂O × (3 mol H₂ / 3 mol H₂O) × (2 g H₂ / mol H₂) ≈ 14 g H₂

Since the data was given to two significant figures, we must round our answer to two significant figures as well.
