Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below. 2HgO mc0

20-1.jpg 2Hg + O2 The molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. How many moles of HgO are needed to produce 250.0 g of O2?

Answer:

moles of HgO needed to produce 250.0 g of O2 = 15.63 moles

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is:

2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg + O2

Amount of O2 produced = 250.0 g

Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32.00 g/mol

Moles of O2 produced = \frac{Mass\ of\ O2}{Molar\ Mass} = \frac{250.0g}{32 g/mol } = 7.813 moles

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of HgO produces 1 mole of O2

Therefore, moles of HgO needed to produce 7.813 moles of O2 is:

= \frac{7.813\ O2 * 2\ HgO}{1\ O2} = 15.63 moles

2HgO = 2Hg + O₂

n(HgO)=2n(O₂)=2m(O₂)/M(O₂)

m(HgO)=n(HgO)M(HgO)=2m(O₂)M(HgO)/M(O₂)

m(HgO)=2*250.0*216.59/32.00 = 3384.219 g ≈ 3 kg 384 g

Which of the following gases experience the greatest degree of deviation from ideal behavior under high pressures and low temper
xz_007 [3.2K]

A) CH4

In general, methane reactions are difficult to control. Partial oxidation to methanol, for example, is a rather difficult reaction because the chemical reactions that occur continue to form carbon dioxide and water even though the amount of oxygen available is insufficient.

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

Methane is the simplest hydrocarbon in the form of gas with the chemical formula CH4. Pure methane does not smell, but if used for commercial purposes, a bit of sulfur is usually added to detect leaks that might occur.

Methane is a greenhouse gas. Methane is used in chemical industrial processes and can be transported as frozen liquids (liquefied natural gas, or LNG).

Methane is a major component of natural gas, around 87% of volume.

Methane is not toxic, but is highly flammable and can cause explosions when mixed with air.

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have
Basile [38]
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)
