A 0.732 g sample of a compound that might be iron(II) chloride, nickel(II) chloride, calcium chloride, or zinc chloride is dissolved in water, and 22.40 mL of 0.515 M AgNO3 is required to completely precipitate all the chloride ion as silver chloride. What is the compound?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Molar Mass of X = 56 g/mol

56 g/mol is the Molar Mass of iron (Fe), So X is iron (Fe)

Reaction will become:

[tex]FeCl_2+2AgNO_3 \rightarrow Fe(NO_3)_2+2AgCl[/tex]

Explanation:

Consider the reaction:

[tex]XCl_2+2AgNO_3 \rightarrow X(NO_3)_2+2AgCl[/tex]

Volume of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]=22.40 ml=0.0224 L

concentration of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]=0.515 M

Moles of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]=n= Volume of

Moles of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]=n= 0.224 * 0.515

Moles of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]=n= 0.011536 mol

1 Mole of [tex]XCl_2[/tex] reacts with 2 moles of  [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]

Moles of  [tex]XCl_2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{Moles\ of\ AgCl_2 }{2}\\[/tex]

Moles of [tex]XCl_2[/tex]=0.011536/2

Moles of [tex]XCl_2[/tex]= 0.05768 mol

Mass of [tex]XCl_2[/tex]= 0.732 g

Molar Mass of [tex]XCl_2[/tex]=Mass/Number of moles

Molar Mass of [tex]XCl_2[/tex]= 0.732/0.05768

Molar Mass of [tex]XCl_2[/tex]=126.9 g/mol

Now,

Molar Mass of [tex]Cl_2=70.9 g/mol[/tex]

Molar Mass of [tex]XCl_2[/tex] = Molar Mass of X + Molar Mass of [tex]Cl_2[/tex]

126.9=Molar Mass of X + 70.9

Molar Mass of X = 56 g/mol

56 g/mol is the Molar Mass of iron (Fe), So X is iron (Fe)

Reaction will become:

[tex]FeCl_2+2AgNO_3 \rightarrow Fe(NO_3)_2+2AgCl[/tex]

As sample of 0.732 g of a compound that may be iron and chloride and nickel including the calcium and chloride or the zinc is mixed in H2O and has a 22.40 ml  0.515 M Ag No3 is needed to complete precipitate.

Hence the output will be

  • Molar Mass of X = 56 g/mol is the Molar Mass of iron (Fe), So X is iron (Fe)
  • Volume of =22.40 ml=0.0224 L
  • concentration of =0.515 M
  • Moles of =n= Volume of
  • Moles of =n= 0.224 * 0.515, Moles of =n= 0.011536 mol.
