What is the maximum number of moles of nickel carbonate (NiCO3) that can form during the precipitation reaction

The correct answer is : 0.025.

Explanation:

The precipitation reaction is as follows in this procedure:

NiSO4.6H20 (aq) + Na2CO3.10H2O (aq)⇒ NiCO3 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq) + 16H2O

So, the number of moles of reactants can be found by

number of moles : mass used/ molar mass

n (NiSO4×6H2O) = (6.57 g)/(262.84 g/mol) = 0.025 mol (for Ni)

n (Na2CO3×10H2O) = (7.15 g)/(286.14 g/mol) = 0.0250 mol (for CO3).

Thus, The maximum number of moles of NiCO3 that can form is 0.025 mol.

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.
