21.  (WCSU24.[x]) The ocean is said to contain one hundred trillion million dollars of gold (Au) in the form of gold(III) chloride.  For decades, chemists (and wannabes) have attempted to precipitate gold from seawater, albeit unsuccessfully.  One method would be to form an insoluble gold salt. Then, by a redox reaction, reduce the gold ions to pure gold ($$$!). a.  (6 points) In theory, sodium hydroxide could be used to precipitate gold from seawater.  Write the net ionic equation for the reaction below. Start with the complete ionic equation and identify spectators. AuCl3(aq)    +   3 NaOH (aq) ⟶  Au(OH)3 (s)     +    3 NaCl (aq)   b.  (4 points) Provide an alternative anion to hydroxide that could be used to precipitate gold in a similar reaction.  Write the formula of the insoluble product.  Explain in a few words how you selected the ion.   c. (12 points) You want to test the reaction in the lab before you head out to the ocean.  Calculate the mass (in g) of solid gold hydroxide (MW = 247.99 g/mol) that would form if 30 mL of a 0.200 M AuCl3 solution was mixed with 0.75 g of solid NaOH (MW = 40.0 g/mol). SHOW ALL WORK.   d.  (5 points) Calculate the percent yield if 0.98 g of precipitate are formed. (If you are unable to reach an answer in part c, you may use 3.0 g as the theoretical yield.)   Enter the percent yield in the box below.

(WCSU24) We often use theory (valence bond, hybridization, resonance, etc.) to explain experimental data. When resonance (delocalized pi bonding) is present in a structure, what you see is not always what you get.  In the structure shown, the bond angles about nitrogen are 120 degrees.     Based on this information, give the following information: a. Molecular geometry about the nitrogen atom: [blank1] b. Hybridization of the nitrogen atom: [blank2] c. Name type of orbital holds the lone pair: [blank3]

(WCSU24) The cross sections of three different ionic compounds (labeled Compound 1, 2 and 3) are displayed in the figures below. In the figures, the charge on each ion is indicated, and the diameter of each circle reflects the diameter of each ion.    Rank these compounds in order of increasing melting point. lowest [drop1] < [drop2] < [drop3] highest

What is the mass percent of zinc in zinc gluconate? b. There are 94 mg of zinc gluconate in a Cold-Eeze lozenge, how much zinc is consumed?   Periodic Table   In the box below, enter the mass of zinc consumed from part b.
