If 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

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

Decomposition reactions occur when complex chemical entities split apart into smaller components. Decomposition reactions often demand energy input.

There are three different kinds of breakdown reactions: thermal, photolytic, and electrolytic.

Mass_{reactant = Mass_{product}

Mass_{mercury oxide = Mass_{mercury} + mass_{oxygen}

28g =        mass_{mercury} + 2g

   mass_{mercury} = 26g

Thus, 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

percentage mass_{mercury} = \frac{mass_{mercury}}{mass_{mercury}oxide}  X 100%

= 26g/28g

= 93%

thus  93% is the percent by mass of Hg present in HgO.

Oxana [17]
Answer is: f<span>ormula for the hydrated compound is CuSO</span>₄·3H₂O.
ω(H₂O) = 25,3% = 0,253.
ω(CuSO₄) = 100% - 25,3%.
ω(CuSO₄) = 74,7% = 0,747.
ω(H₂O) : M(H₂O) = ω(CuSO₄) : M(CuSO₄).
0,253 : M(H₂O) = 0,747 : 159,6 g/mol.
M(H₂O) = (0,253 · 159,6 g/mol) ÷ 0,747.
M(H₂O) = 54 g/mol.
N(H₂O) = 54 g/mol ÷ 18 g/mol.
N(H₂O) = 3.

you uses 500 mg of sucrose and placed it into 200ml of water what is the concentration of this solution?
Assoli18 [71]
We are given with 500 mg of sucrose dissoved in a 200 ml of water. The concentration of the solid is amount of solute per volume of the solvent. The concnetration can be expressed as 2.5 grams sugar per liter water or 250 mg per 100 ml water.
