Question

2Ni(OH) → Ni2O + H2O How many moles of water forms from 4.20 mol of nickel (I) hydroxide?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.1 moles of water formed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of water formed = ?

Moles of Ni(OH) = 4.20 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Ni(OH)    →  Ni₂O + H₂O

Now we will compare the moles of Ni(OH)  with water.

             Ni(OH)           :            H₂O

                2                 :              1

              4.20             :            1/2×4.20 = 2.1 mol

2.1 moles of water formed.
