Suppose 9.33g of nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in 250.mL of a 0.30 M aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. Calculate the final molarity of chloride anion in the solution. You can assume the volume of the solution doesn't change when the nickel(II) chloride is dissolved in it.
Normally, the amount of silver nitrate required to precipitate all of the chloride in the sample is found by a trial and error process. However, to speed up the experiment, assume a sample mass of 0.1431 g, and that sample contains approximately 55.0% chloride ion by mass. From these assumptions, calculate the volume of 0.100 M AgNO3(aq) that needs to be added to precipitate all of the chloride ion. Please answer in mL. (Note: You are calculating the exact amount required and not adding 5mL in excess. In the experiment, you'd be adding an additional 5mL in excess since the chloride value of the salt may exceed 55%. Pay attention to the sig. figs. in your calculation; keep three sig. figs. in the answer.)
Calculate the volume (mL) of 1.0 M metal nitrate solution required to prepare 5.0 g of the COBALT pigment. Again, using the balanced chemical equation you should be able to relate the moles of pigment to the moles of metal nitrate and from that calculate the volume of 1.0 M metal nitrate solution required. Please report your value as XX.X mL (one decimal point and no units).
