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 iron does 50.0 g of iron (Fe) represents?
mixer [17]

0.9mole of Fe

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Fe = 50g

Unknown:

Number of moles of iron = ?

Solution:

The number of moles is the particle that contains the avogadro's number of particles.

It is a unit for reporting chemical measurement.

To find the number of moles of a substance;

 Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

Molar mass of Fe= 56g/mol

 Number of moles = \frac{50}{56} = 0.9mole of Fe
