Na2S (aq) is added to 13.3 mL of a solution of Ni2+ ions until NiS ceases to precipitate. The precipitate is dried and determined to be of mass 0.0543 g. Assuming 100% yield, what was the initial concentration of the Ni2+ solution.
Molar mass of NiS = 58.7 + 32 = 90.7 gm/mol
Number of moles = mass/molar mass = 5.9867 * 10^(-4) moles
Molarity = Number of moles/Volume in(L)
=> 5.9867 * 10^(-4)/(13.3/1000)
=> 0.045M
Hence the initial concentration of Ni(2+) is 0.045M
