Answer:

NiCl₂·4H₂O, its name being nickel (II) chloride tetrahydrate.

Explanation:

The constant mass achieved after heating is the mass of anhydrous nickel (II) chloride, NiCl₂. While the mass lost was water.

  • Mass lost = 1.167 g - 0.750 g = 0.417 g

Now we <u>convert 0.750 g of NiCl₂ into moles</u>, using <em>its molar mass</em>:

  • 0.750 g NiCl₂ ÷ 129.6 g/mol = 0.0058 mol NiCl₂

Then we <u>convert 0.417 g of H₂O into moles</u>:

  • 0.417 g H₂O ÷ 18 g/mol = 0.0231 mol H₂O

With the above information we can calculate that the number of H₂O moles is 4 times higher than the number of NiCl₂ moles.

Meaning that <em>the formula of the hydrate is NiCl₂·4H₂O</em>, its name being nickel (II) chloride tetrahydrate.

How many moles of hydrogen gas will be produced when 12 g of Mg will react completely with excess of an acid according to the fo
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

0.49 mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

Mg + 2 HCI ⇒ MgCl₂ + H₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12 g of Mg

The molar mass of Mg is 24.31 g/mol.

12g \times \frac{1mol}{24.31g} = 0.49mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂ produced by 0.49 moles of Mg

The molar ratio of Mg to H₂ is 1:1. The moles of H₂ produced are 1/1 × 0.49 mol = 0.49 mol.

Burka [1]
Answer is: ammonia experience only dispersion intermolecular forces with BF₃ (boron trifluoride) because BF₃ is only nonpolar molecule (vectors of dipole moments cansel each other, dipole moment is zero).
The London dispersion force (intermolecular force) <span>is a temporary attractive </span>force between molecules.
