You have been given the assignment to make 2.000g of the solid product using nicker (II) nitrate
Question:
You have been given the assignment to make 2.000g of the solid product using nicker (II) nitrate hexahydrate and sodium hydroxide. How much, in grams, of each of the reactants do you need? Show your work.
REACTANT # 1 | REACTANT # 2 |
Nickel (II) nitrate hexahydrate | Sodium hydroxide |
Step 1. Write the correct molecular formulas for the two reactants. | |
Step 2. Write the balanced equation for the reaction. | |
Step 3. Predict which compound will form a precipitate using the solubility Rules. | |
Step 4. Calculate the mass of reactants needed to produce 2.000g of the precipitate. (steps below, nothing to write here) | |
Molecular mass of REACTANT # 1 | Molecular mass of REACTANT # 2 |
Molecular mass of solid product | |
Moles of solid product | |
Molecular of REACTANT # 1 | Molecular of REACTANT # 2 |
Grams of REACTANT # 1 | Grams of REACTANT # 2 |
Instead of 2.000g, you recovered 1.564g. What is your percent error?
