Note: Imaginary Elements Are Used in the Following Question

Question 142

Short Answer

Note: Imaginary elements are used in the following question. An electrolysis study was carried to determine the atomic weight of nortonium from a study on the compound, nortonium nitrate. Another study had established that the formula was probably Nt(NO3)2. In the present study, electrolysis was carried on an aqueous sample of nortonium nitrate, and the quantities of the electrolysis products were carefully measured. At the anode, a gas was collected which, after correction for the vapor pressure of water, registered a volume of 94.25 mL when the temperature was 25.0 °C and the pressure was 748.5 torr. The mass of the nortonium that plated out on the cathode was measured as 836.2 mg. From this data, calculate a value for the atomic weight of nortonium.Hint: Use the ideal gas law and balanced redox equation to find moles of nortonium, then find atomic weight.
