This is the chemical formula for nickel tetracarbonyl (a powerfully poisonous liquid used in nickel refining): Ni(CO)_4 A Chemical engineer has determined by measurements that there are 3.134 moles of nickel in a sample of nickel tetracarbonyl. How many moles of carbon are in the sample? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Respuesta :

Answer:

We have 12.54 moles of carbon are in the sample.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Nickel tetracarbonyl = Ni(CO)4

Number of moles nickel = 3.134 moles

Step 2: Calculate moles carbon

For 1 mol Ni(CO)4 we have 1 mol Nickel, 4 moles carbon and 4 moles oxygen

If we have 3.134 moles nickel, this means we have 3.134 moles of Ni(CO)4

For 3.134 moles Ni(CO)4 we have 4*3.134 = 12.54 moles of Carbon

We have 12.54 moles of carbon are in the sample.
