Answer:
Explanation:
1. Calculate the number of moles of NiCl₂
a) Identify the known variables
- V =0.800 liters
- M = 0.531M
- n = ?
b) Formula
[tex]M=\dfrac{n}{V}[/tex]
c) Clear n
[tex]n=M\times V[/tex]
g) Substitute and compute
[tex]n=0.531M/times 0.800liters=0.4248mol[/tex]
2. Convert moles to grams
a) molar mass of NiCl₂
- 129g/mol (shown in the problem)
b) Unit canceling method
Use the factors in order to cancel the units to obtain grams
[tex]0.4248mol\times 129\dfrac{g}{mol}=54.7992g[/tex]
Note that the mol unit appears on the numerator and denominator, so it cancels leaving just g (grams).
c) Round to 3 signficant figures
[tex]54.8g[/tex]
