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 %

The correct matches are as follows:

1. Big Bang theory: Theory that suggests the origin of the universe started with an explosion and expansion of a very hot, dense, compact fireball.

2. Steady state theory: Theory about the origin of the universe that suggest that the universe has and will continue to be at a steady continuous state.

3. Oscillatory universe theory: Theory about the origin of the universe that suggests the universe is a never ending cycle of expansion and contraction.

4. Nebular theory: Theory about the origin of the solar system that suggest our sun and planet formed from a cloud of dust and gas.

5. Inflation theory: Theory that upholds the big bang theory but suggest there was an extremely rapid expansion or inflation milliseconds after the big bang.

6. Condensation theory: Theory about the origin of the solar system that agree with the nebular theory but stresses the importance of interstellar dust in planet formation.

The heaviest element to be created by exothermic nuclear fusion is:
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The heaviest element to be created by exothermic nuclear fusion is Iron

Explanation:

Because it is the heaviest element produced during fusion without having to add energy, and it is the lightest element produced during fission without having to add energy. Energy-wise, everything in the universe wants to be iron! Iron is the most abundant element on Earth, making up 34.5 percent of Earth's mass.

Given the following thermochemical equation 2N2O(g) → 2N2(g) + O2(g) ∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol find the amount of heat that will be pr
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

2N₂O(g) → 2N₂(g) + O₂(g)

molecular weight of N₂O = 44

∆Hº = –166.7 kJ/mol

44 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 kJ of heat

2.25 g of N₂O decomposes to give 166.7 x 2.25 / 44 kJ of heat

= 8.51 kJ of heat .
