Increases the concentration of hydronium ions in an aqueous solution
Assuming the volume of the gas is measured at standard temperature and pressure, Then one mole of the Gas would occupy 22.4 liters.
Therefore, 1 liter is 1/224 moles
one mole of nitrogen 14 is 14
Therefore 1 liter of the nitrogen weighs 1/224×14
0.0625 grams
The answer would be .5 mols because you take the total amount of grams, which is 20, and you had up the molar mass of sodium hydroxide, which would be 40. After you have this you would set this up as a stochiometry equation. With 1 mol on top you dived 20/40 to cancel out your grams. This leaves you with .5 mols
1. The reaction for this would be:
Sn + 4 HNO₃ → SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O
The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.
2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.
