Paige heated 3.00 g mercury (II) oxide (HgO, 216.59 g/mol) to form mercury (Hg, 200.59 g/mol) and oxygen (O2, 32.00 g/mol). She

collected 0.195 g oxygen. What was the percent yield of oxygen?

the balanced chemical equation for decomposition of HgO is as follows

2HgO --> 2Hg + O₂

stoichiometry of HgO to O₂ is 2:1

number of HgO moles heated are - 3.00 g / 216.59 g/mol = 0.0139 mol

according to stoichiometry of reaction -

number of O₂ moles formed = 0.0139 mol/ 2 = 0.00695 mol

mass of O₂ to be formed - 0.00695 mol x 32.00 g/mol = 0.2224 g

but the actual yield = 0.195 g

percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100 %

percent yield = 0.195 g / 0.2224 g x 100 % = 87.7 %

answer is 87.7 %

ollegr [7]

Answer: The statement, you've just prepared an aqueous solution is true.

Explanation:

When one or more number of substances are dissolved in a solvent like water then solution formed is called an aqueous solution.

For example, when a hot drink is made by dissolving a teaspoon of instant coffee and a teaspoon of sugar in a cup of hot water is an aqueous solution.

Here, both coffee and sugar are solute whereas hot water is the solvent.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement, you've just prepared an aqueous solution is true.

What is the balanced chemical equations for fe + o2 → iron(౹౹) oxide?
pishuonlain [190]
The idea behind balancing chemical equations is that the number of atoms an element has on the reactants' side must be equal to the number of atoms it has on the products' side.

These atoms will become a part of different compounds once the reaction is completed, but they must always be in equal numbers on both sides.

So, look at iron first. One atom reacts, but two are produced - notice the 2 subscript iron has in Fe2O3. This means you must double the number of atoms on the reactants' side to reach an equality.

2Fe(s)+O2(g)→Fe2O3(s)

Now look at oxygen. Two atoms react, but three are produced. The trick here is to find a common multiple that will make the number of atoms equal on both sides.

The easiest way to do this is to multiply the atoms that react by 3, which will give you 6 oxygen atoms that react, and the atoms that are produced by 2 - this will get you 6 oxygen atoms produced.

2Fe(s)+3O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s)

However, notice that the iron atoms are unbalanced again. You have 2 that react, but 4 that are produced → multiply the atoms that react by 2 again, which will give you

4Fe(s)+3O2(g)→2Fe2O3(s)
