Identify the balanced chemical equation: \( \text{NiCO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{NiSO}_4 + \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \).
Determine the molar mass of each compound involved: \( \text{NiCO}_3 \), \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \), and \( \text{NiSO}_4 \).
Calculate the theoretical yield of \( \text{NiSO}_4 \) using stoichiometry based on the initial amount of \( \text{NiCO}_3 \) or \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) provided.
Apply the percentage yield formula: \( \text{Actual Yield} = \text{Theoretical Yield} \times \frac{\text{Percentage Yield}}{100} \).
Convert the actual yield from moles to grams using the molar mass of \( \text{NiSO}_4 \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced chemical equation. It allows chemists to determine the amount of product formed from a given amount of reactant. In this case, understanding the stoichiometric ratios from the reaction between nickel(II) carbonate and sulfuric acid is essential to calculate the theoretical yield of nickel(II) sulfate.

Percent Yield

Percent yield is a measure of the efficiency of a chemical reaction, calculated by comparing the actual yield of a product to the theoretical yield. It is expressed as a percentage and is crucial for evaluating how much of the expected product was actually produced. In this question, the yield of 78.9% indicates that only a portion of the theoretical amount of NiSO4 was obtained.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is essential for converting between the number of moles of a substance and its mass. To find the mass of NiSO4 produced, one must first calculate its molar mass and then apply it to the stoichiometric calculations involving the yield.
