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.

whg doe sthe transfer of electrons from magnesium to oxygen cause the ions produced to attract eachother
almond37 [142]
Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell. 

As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.

The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.

When iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192ir, 0.6 mm in diameter and 3.5 mm long, is surgica
Ivan

Iridium-192 is used in cancer treatment, a small cylindrical piece of 192 Ir, 0.6 mm in diameter (0.3mm radius) and 3.5 mm long, is surgically inserted into the tumor. if the density of iridium is 22.42 g/cm3, how many iridium atoms are present in the sample?

Let us start by computing for the volume of the cylinder. V = π(r^2)*h where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, respectively. Let's convert all given dimensions to cm first. Radius = 0.03 cm, height is 0.35cm long.

V = π * (0.03cm)^2 * 0.35 cm = 9.896*10^-4 cm^3

Now we have the volume of 192-Ir, let's use the density provided to get it's mass, and once we have the mass let's use the molar mass to get the amount of moles. After getting the amount of moles, we use Avogadro's number to convert moles into number of atoms. See the calculation below and see if all units "cancel":

9.896*10^-4 cm^3 * (22.42 g/cm3) * (1 mole / 191.963 g) * (6.022x10^23 atoms /mole)

= 6.96 x 10^19 atoms of Ir-122 are present.
