First, we write the reaction equation:
NiCO₃ + 2HBr → NiBr₂ + H₂CO₃
Now, writing this in ionic form:
NiCO₃ + 2H⁺ + 2Br⁻ → NiBr₂ + 2H⁺ + CO₃⁻²
(NiCO₃ is insoluble so it does not dissociate in to ions very readily)
Overall equation:
NiCO₃ + 2Br⁻ → NiBr₂ + CO₃⁻²
Answer:
Rank the following chemical species from lowest absolute entropy (So) (1) to highest absolute entropy (5) at 298 K?
a. Al (s)
b. H2O (l)
c. HCN (g)
d. CH3COOH (l)
e. C2H6 (g)
Explanation:
Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderness.
In solids, the entropy is very less compared to liquids and gases.
The entropy order is:
solids<liquids<gases
Among the given substances, water in liquid form has a strong intermolecular H-bond.
So, it has also less entropy.
Next acetic acid.
Between the gases, HCN, and ethane, ethane has more entropy due to very weak intermolecular interactions.
HCN has slight H-bonding in IT.
Hence, the entropy order is:
Al(s) < CH3COOH (l) <H2O(l) < HCN(g) < C2H6(g)
Jim collects a sample of beach sand during a class trip. After a close inspection of the sample he classifies it as a ____________ mixture. A) heterogeneous
1)we need a balanced equation: CuSO₄ + Zn ---> ZnSO₄ + Cu
2) we need to convert the grams of CuSO₄ to moles using the molar mass.
molar mass CuSO₄= 63.5 + 32.0 + (4 x 16.0)= 160 g/mol

3) convert moles of CuSO₄ to moles of Cu

4) convert moles of Cu to grams using it's molar mass.
molar mass Cu= 63.5 g/mol

I did it step-by-step as the explanation but you can do all of this in one step.
