A solution of 100.0 mL of 0.200 M KOH is mixed with a solution of 200.0 mL of 0.150 M NiSO4. (a) Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) What precipitate forms? (c) What is the limiting reactant? (d) How many grams of this precipitate form? (e) What is the concentration of each ion that remains in solution?

a) 2KOH + NiSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + Ni(OH)₂

b) Ni(OH)₂

c) KOH

d) 0.927 g

e) K⁺=0.067 M, SO₄²⁻=0.1 M, Ni²⁺=0.067 M

Explanation:

a) The equation is:

2KOH + NiSO₄ → K₂SO₄ + Ni(OH)₂   (1)        

b) The precipitate formed is Ni(OH)₂  

c) The limiting reactant is:

From equation (1) we have that 2 moles of KOH react with 1 mol of NiSO₄, so the number of moles of KOH is:

Hence, the limiting reactant is KOH.  

d) The mass of the precipitate formed is:

e) The concentration of the SO₄²⁻, K⁺, and Ni²⁺ ions are:

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o
