Write down the dissolution equation for nickel(II) perchlorate dissolving in water. (Perchlorate is a polyatomic ion with the formula ClO41-.) If four moles of the ionic compound are dissolved, then how many moles of the ANION are present in the solution?

Ni(ClO₄)₂(aq) ⇒ Ni²⁺(aq) + 2 ClO₄⁻(aq)

8 mol ClO₄⁻

Explanation:

Let's consider the dissolution equation for nickel(II) perchlorate dissolving in water.

Ni(ClO₄)₂(aq) ⇒ Ni²⁺(aq) + 2 ClO₄⁻(aq)

The molar ratio of Ni(ClO₄)₂ to ClO₄⁻ is 1:2. If 4 moles of Ni(ClO₄)₂ are dissolved, the moles of ClO₄⁻ formed are:

4 mol Ni(ClO₄)₂ × (2 mol ClO₄⁻/ 1 mol Ni(ClO₄)₂) = 8 mol ClO₄⁻

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
