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).
Molar mass Li2CO3 = 73.89 g/mol
Molar mass Li = 6.94g/mol Li = 6.94*2 = 13.88g
% LI = 13.88/73.89*100 = 18.78% perfectly correct.
Answer:
98.6 g/mol.
Explanation:
Equation of the reaction
HX + NaOH--> NaX + H2O
Number of moles = molar concentration × volume
= 0.095 × 0.03
= 0.00285 moles
By stoichiometry, 1 mole of HX reacted with 1 mole of NaOH. Therefore, number of moles of HX = 0.00285 moles.
Molar mass = mass ÷ number of moles
= 0.281 ÷ 0.00285
= 98.6 g/mol.
I'd love to help, but you forgot to add the question.
