The protons come from water. Sulfur oxides dissolve in water to form sulfurous and sulfuric acids, and nitrogen oxides dissolve to form nitrous and nitric acids.

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with
grandymaker [24]

\text{Hg} \text{O} and \text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})
  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})

First compound:

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g

n = m/M; 0.6498 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a 1:1 ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be \text{Hg} \text{O} where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012  \; g

n = m/M; 0.4172 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol

n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx  2:1 and therefore the empirical formula

\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Which of these statement(s) is/are true about a balloon filled with 1.00 mol N2 (g) at STP?
lara [203]

Answer:

I. The balloon has a volume of 22.4L

III. The balloon contains 6.022x10^23 molecules.

Explanation:

At stp, it has been proven that 1mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.

Therefore, option (i) is correct.

The molar mass N2 = 14.01 x 2 = 28.02g/mol

Number of mole of N2 = 1 mole

Mass of N2 =..?

Mass = mole x molar Mass

Mass of N2 = 1 x 28.02 = 28.02g.

The mass content of the balloon is 28.02g, therefore, option (ii) is wrong.

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that 1 mole of any substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules. This implies that 1 mole of N2 also contains 6.02x10^23 molecules

Therefore, option (iii) is correct.

The correct options to the question are:

Option i and option iii

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road, and the ocean. Which material will heat up most during the
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The sun shines with equal intensity on a farm field, an asphalt road and the ocean. So basically asphalt road are heated the most during the day

Explanation:

The heat of water is more than the specific heat of sand.

Therefore sand is hot.

.Water is reflecting solar radiation.  

The land retains more heat since the land absorb solar radiation.

Therefore the land surfaces warm faster.

Since water is a slow conductor of heat, it need more energy than the sand. so its temperature is increasing.  soil loses heat faster.  

The ocean heats slower than land , the land air is more warmer than lean air. After the sun set the land loses heat quickly .The air above it cools.
