Mercury (ii) oxide is made up of mercury and oxygen. The total mass of mercury (ii) oxide is 14.2 g, after decomposition 13.2 g of mercury were formed, therefore the mass of oxygen 1 g (14.2 g -13.2 g).
Percentage of oxygen = (1/14.2)×100 = 7.04%
Percentage of mercury = (13.2/14.2) × 100 = 92.96%
Therefore, percentage composition of the compound, oxygen is 7.04% and mercury is 92.96%.

If the half-life of a radioisotope is 10,000 years, the amount remaining after 20,000 years is
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Considering the half-life of 10,000 years, after 20,000 years we will have a fourth of the remaining amount.

Explanation:

The half-time is the time a radioisotope takes to decay and lose half of its mass. Therefore, we can make the following scheme to know the amount remaining after a period of time:

Time_________________ Amount

t=0_____________________x

t=10,000 years____________x/2

t=20,000 years___________x/4

During the first 10,000 years the radioisotope lost half of its mass. After 10,000 years more (which means 2 half-lives), the remaining amount also lost half of its mass. Therefore, after 20,000 years, the we will have a fourth of the initial amount.

A sample of a mineral solid weighing 28.5 g was added to a graduated cylinder filled with to a level of 20.3 mL. As a result, th
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

2.8 g/mL is the density of the mineral.

Explanation:

The mass, m=28.5\ g

Volume of the object = Volume of water level rose - Initial volume of water = 30.5 mL - 20.3 mL = 10.2 mL

The expression for the calculation of density is shown below as:-

\rho=\frac{m}{V}

\rho=\frac{28.5\ g}{10.2 mL}=2.8\ g/mL

<u>2.8 g/mL is the density of the mineral.</u>

Sodium phosphate and calcium chloride react to form sodium chloride and calcium phosphate. If you have 379.4 grams of calcium ch
barxatty [35]

Answer: 353.6 g.


Explanation:


1) Word equation (given)

Sodium phosphate + calcium choride → sodium chloride + calcium phosphate


2) Balanced chemical equation

2 Na₃PO₄ +3 CaCl₂ → 6 NaCl + Ca₃(PO4)₂


3) Mole ratio

2 moles Na₃PO₄ : 3 moles CaCl₂ :  6 moles NaCl : 1 mole Ca₃(PO4)₂


4)  Formula to convert grams to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass


5) Number of moles of limiting reactant

a) mass in grams = 379.4 g CaCl₂

b) molar mass CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

c) number of moles CaCl₂ = 379.4 g / 110.98 g/mol = 3.419 moles


6) Theoretical yield of Ca₃(PO4)₂

    3 moles CaCl₂ / 1 mole Ca₃(PO4)₂ = 3.419 moles CaCl₂ / x ⇒

    x = 3.419 × 1 / 3 = 1.140 moles Ca₃(PO4)₂


7) Convert 1.140 moles Ca₃(PO4)₂

a) molar mass Ca₃(PO4)₂ = 310.1767 g/mol

b) mass in grams = number of moles × molar mass = 1.140 moles × 310.1767 g/mol = 353.6 g ← answer.
