Moles are the division of the mass and the molar mass. The moles of mercury (ii) oxide in the decomposition reaction needed to produce oxygen are 0.781 moles.

<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>

A decomposition reaction is a breakdown of the reactant into simpler products. The decomposition of mercury (ii) oxide can be shown as:

2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g)

From the reaction, it can be said that 2 moles of mercury (ii) oxide decomposes to produce 1 mole of oxygen.

The moles of oxygen that needs to be produced are calculated as:

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

= 12.5 gm ÷ 32 gm/mol

= 0.39 moles

0.39 moles of oxygen are needed to be produced.

From the stoichiometric coefficient of the reaction, the moles of HgO is calculated as: 2 × 0.39 = 0.781 moles

Therefore, 0.781 moles of HgO are required in the reaction.

A voltaic cell is based on the reduction of ag (aq) to ag(s) and the oxidation of sn(s) to sn2 (aq).
Annette [7]

Half-reaction for the cell's anode is given below:

Anode : \\Sn(s) \rightarrow Sn^{2+} (aq) +2e^{-}

The anode is defined as the electrode at which electrons leave the cell and oxidation occurs, and the cathode as the electrode at which electrons enter the cell and reduction occurs. The anode is usually the positive side.

Jenna built the electrical circuit seen here. What would happen to the electrical energy if Jenna removed one of the clips on th
otez555 [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An electric circuit works well when all the connections are complete but if any of the connections in the circuit is loose or disconnected then it is possible that current will not flow from the circuit.

Therefore, when Jenna removed one of the clips on the battery then circuit becomes incomplete and as a result there will no flow of current.

Thus, we can conclude that the electrical energy would stop because the circuit is incomplete.

Which one is a chemical reaction? Why?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Copper turns green on exposure to air

Explanation:

Liquid water freezes to form ice: Physical change

Reason: Water can melt back when it becomes ice.

Copper turns green on exposure to air: Chemical change

Reason: The copper can not change back from the green state when it turns green.

Explain why noble gases usually do not form bonds with other atoms?
katovenus [111]
Noble gases' outer shells are already filled with 8 electrons (other than He, which has 2, but is still filled and stable). Atoms bond with other elements to fill their outer shell, but they don't need to do that and are already stable.

What is the mass of 3.0 x 10^23 atoms of neon
anzhelika [568]


3.0e23 atoms Ne

"E" means 10^

Then we multiply it by a mole of Ne. By the definetion of a mole, it is always 6.022e23 atoms of an element.

So now, we do this:

3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne)

After that, we use molar mass. A mole of Neon is equal, in terms of grams, to its avg. atomic mass. This goes true for any element.

It ends up like this:

3.0e23 atoms Ne x (1 mol Ne / 6.022e23 atoms Ne) x (20.1797 g Ne / 1 mol Ne)

Now cancel out the "atoms Ne" and "1 mol Ne"

You end up with a grand total of...
*plugs everything into a calculator*

10.05298... g Ne.

We need to round to 2 sig. figs. (3.0) so now it's....

10 g Ne.

Note that this method can only be used for converting atoms of an element to mass in grams.
