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%.

Calculate the number of Cl atoms that are in 1.1 x 10^-21 moles of Cl atoms.
Margarita [4]

According to Avogadro's number there are 62.53 atoms of chlorine in 1.1x 10^-21 moles of Cl atoms.

<h3>What is Avogadro's number?</h3>

Avogadro's number is defined as a proportionality factor which relates number of constituent particles with the amount of substance which is present in the sample.

According to the definitions, Avogadro's number depend on determined value of mass of one atom of those elements.It bridges the gap between macroscopic and microscopic world by relating amount of substance with number of particles.

Number of atoms can be calculated using Avogadro's number as follows: mass/molar mass×Avogadro's number or number of moles×Avogadro's number.

ON substitution in above formula number of atoms=1.1×10²¹×6.023×10²³=62.53 atoms

Thus, there are 62.53 chlorine  atoms in 1.1x 10^-21 moles of Cl atoms.

The effectiveness of nitrogen fertilizers depends on both their ability to deliver nitrogen to plants and the amount of nitrogen
densk [106]

Answer:

Ammonia > Urea > Ammonium nitrate > Ammonium sulphate

Explanation:

Percentage by mass of nitrogen in NH3:

Molar mass of NH3= 17 g/mol

Hence % by mass = 14/17 × 100 = 82.35%

% by mass of NH4NO3

Molar mass of NH4NO3 = 80.043 g/mol

Hence; 28/80.043 × 100 = 34.98%

% by mass of (NH4)2SO4;

Molar mass of (NH4)2SO4= 132.14 g/mol

Hence; 28/132.14 × 100 = 21.19%

% by mass of CH4N2O

Molar mass of urea = 60.0553 g/mol

Hence 28/60.0553 × 100 = 46.62%

What determines a molecules VSEPR shape?
frosja888 [35]
Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule. The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction.

6 How many moles are in a 321 g sample of magnesium?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

13.4mol of Mg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of magnesium = 321g

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

The number of moles of a substance is given as;

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

 Molar mass of Mg = 24g/mol

 Insert the parameters and solve;

        Number of moles  = \frac{321}{24}   = 13.4mol of Mg
