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 %

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:


\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right]  & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.

Fred mixes a solution using two types of solutions: 0.60 liters containing 10% alcohol and 0.40 liters containing 35% alcohol. W
insens350 [35]

The alcohol concentration of the mixed solution is 20%

Simplification :

Based on the given condition, formulate :

35% ×0.40 + 0.6 ×10% ÷{ 0.4+0.6}

Calculate the product :\frac{0.14+0.06}{0.4 + 0.6}

Calculate the sum or difference : \frac{0.2}{1}

Any fraction with denominator 1 is equal to numerator : 0.2

Multiply a number to both numerator, denominator : 0.2 ×\frac{100}{100}

Calculate the product or quotient : \frac{20}{100}

A fraction with denominator equals to 100 to a percentage 20%.

How do you find the concentration of a mixed solution?

In general when your are mixing two different concentrations together first calculate number of moles for each solution (n=CV ,V-in liter) then add them together it will be total moles,then concentration of mixture will be = total moles / total volume(liter).

Does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy just before it hits the ground? Why?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

When the bowling ball is first dropped, it has a maximum potential energy but minimum kinetic energy.  The height is max, so the potential energy will be greatest.  Velocity is 0, so kinetic energy will be 0.
