Answer: 3.81 grams

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 Liters at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given atoms}}{\text {Avogadro's number}}

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{1.20\times 10^{22}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=0.019moles   (1L=1000ml)

Now 1 mole of Hg atom weighs = 200.59 g

0.019 moles of Hg atom weighs= \frac{200.59}{1}\times 0.019=3.81g

Thus mass of sample of mercury is 3.81 grams

Atomic mass Hg = 200.59 u.m.a

200.59 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
( mass Hg ) ----------- 1.20 x10²² atoms

mass Hg = ( 1.20x10²² ) x 200.59 / 6.02x10²³

mass Hg = 2.407x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³

= 3.998 g of Hg

hope this helps!

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction below if the pressures are 1.0atm, 2.0 atm, and 1.0 atm respectively. PCl3 +
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

K = 0.5

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂

<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

As:

P PCl₅ = 1.0atm

P PCl₃ = 1.0atm

P Cl₂ = 2.0atm

K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm

<h3>K = 0.5</h3>

If a sample of gas is located 10.2 cm from the injection point and the chart speed is 0.5 cm/min, what is the retention time?
Archy [21]

Answer : The retention time is, 20 min

Explanation :

Retention time : It is defined as the amount of time a compound spends on the column after it has been injected.

Formula of retention time is:

\text{Retention time}=\frac{\text{Distance from injection point to center of peaks}}{\text{Chart recorded speed}}

Given:

Distance from injection point to center of peaks = 10 cm

Chart recorded speed = 0.5 cm/min

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

\text{Retention time}=\frac{10cm}{0.5cm/min}

Retention time = 20 min

Thus, the retention time is, 20 min

Silicon has a relatively large latent heat of vaporization of 12800 J/g. This indicates that silicon has:
beks73 [17]
I believe it means that it takes a lot of heat in joules to make silicon vaporize so it stays solid until a great deal of heat has been added. By comparison, water has a latent heat of about 2260 joules per gram so vaporizes much more readily than silicon.
