Answer:

9.6 moles

Explanation:

The compound; Ni(CO4)

The ratio of the elements is given as;

Ni : C : O

1 : 1 : 4

The ratio of Nickel is particularly;

Ni : C

1 : 1

If there are 9.6 moles of Nickel present in the sample, it means there are also 9.6 moles of Carbon in the sample.

Complete question:

This is the chemical formula for nickel tetracarbonyl (a powerfully poisonous liquid used in nickel reﬁning): Ni(CO)4 A chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 9.6 moles of nickel in a sample of nickel tetracarbonyl. How many moles of carbon are in the sample? Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

number of moles of carbon in the compound = 9.6 × 4 = 38.40 moles ≈ 38 moles

Explanation:

The molecular formula of the compound, tetracarbonyl is represented as Ni(CO)4. From the chemical formula of the actual compound contains 1 mole of nickel, 4 moles of carbon and 4 moles of oxygen.

The ratio of the moles can be represented as:

Ni C O

1 : 4 : 4

1 mole of Nickel containing mass of 58.6934 g.

4 moles of carbon containing mass of 4(12 g) = 48 g

4 moles of oxygen containing mass of 4(16 g) = 64 g

since 1 mole of nickel contains 4 moles of carbon in the compound

9.6 moles of nickel will contain ? moles of carbon

cross multiply

number of moles of carbon in the compound = 9.6 × 4 = 38.40 moles

2 significant figure = 38 moles

Which of the following statements about monosaccharide structure is true?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The only statement about monosaccharide structure which is true is b. (Monosaccharides can be classified according to the spatial arrangement of their atoms)

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are simple sugars that are classified according to the amount of carbon atoms and based on these numbers, we can call them trioses, pentoses and hexoses. They are molecules with aldehyde (aldose) or centone (ketose) groups that have more than one alcohol function, but which do not differ in their position (OH). They do not contain N, since their general formula is Cx (H2O) x. A 6-carbon monosaccharide is called hexose, since the pentose only has 5

5. Gabi has plans with her friends to go to a concert on her birthday in 4 days. She is so excited that she wants to know how ma

drek231 [11]

Answer:

So she is very anxious because she has to wait 345600 seconds

Explanation:

60 second = 1 minute

60 minute = 1 hour

1 hour has 3600 seconds (60*60)

24 hour = 1 day

3600 second * 24 hours =

1 day has 86400 seconds so in four days

86400 * 4 = 345600

On the graph, which shows the potential energy curve of two N atoms, carefully sketch a curve that corresponds to the potential

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are to carefully sketch a curve that relates to the potential energy of two O atoms versus the distance between their nuclei.

From the diagram, O2 have higher potential energy than the N2 molecule. Because on the periodic table, the atomic size increases from left to right on across the period, thus O2 posses a larger atomic size than N2 atom.

Therefore, the bond length formation between the two O atoms will be larger compared to that of the two N atoms.

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio

docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

At a given temperature, you have a mixture of benzene (vapor pressure of pure benzene = 745 torr) and toluene (vapor pressure of

swat32

Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law, which states that:

P_i = x_i*(P_pure)_i

where
P_i is the partial pressure of component i above a solution
x_i is the mole fraction of component i in the solution
(P_pure)_i is the vapor pressure of pure component i

In this case,

P_benzene = 0.59 * 745 torr = 439.6 torr
P_toluene = (1-0.59) * 290 torr = 118.9 torr

The total vapor pressure above the solution is the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components:

P_total = (439.6 + 118.9) torr = 558.5 torr

Assuming the gas phase also behaves ideally, the partial pressure of each gas in the vapor phase is proportional to its molar concentration, so the mole fraction of toluene in the vapor phase is:

118.9 torr/558.5 torr = 0.213
