Balance the equation: ___HgO → ___O2 + ___Hg

Chemistry
2 answers:

Answer: 2HgO\rightarrow O_2+2Hg

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

2HgO\rightarrow O_2+2Hg

Thus if the product is O_2 , there are 2 atoms of oxygen. When a coefficient 2 is placed in front of the reactant HgO, there will be 2 atoms of oxygen and 2 atoms of mercury. Thus a coeeficient of 2 is to be added to product side in front of Hg.

2HgO -> 1 O2 + 2Hg

remember first there's 2 oxygens so then you check the other side and make it 2 too. then you see that now there's 2Hg and then you put a 2 on the other side to make it 2Hg too. balancing is just making sure the number of elements on one side equal the other.

Explanation:

Why can a signaling molecule cause different responses in different cells? Different cells have membrane receptors that bind to different sides of the signaling molecule. The transduction process is unique to each cell type; to respond to a signal, different cells require only a similar membrane receptor

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
viva [34]

Answer: -2.373  x 10^-24J/K(particles

Explanation: Entropy is defined as the degree of randomness of a system which is a function of the state of a system and depends on the number of the random microstates present.

The entropy change for a particle in a system  depends on the initial and final states of a system and is given by Boltzmann equation as  

S = k ln(W) .

where S =Entropy

K IS Boltzmann constant ==1.38 x 10 ^-23J/K

W is the number of microstates available to the system.

 The  change in entropy is given as

S2 -S1 = kln W2 - klnW1

dS = k ln (W2/W1)

where w1 and w2 are initial and final microstates

from the question, W2(final) = 0.842 x W1(initial), so:

= 1.38*10-23 ln (0.842)

=1.38*10-23  x -0.1719

= -2.373  x 10^-24J/K(particles)

how many moles of iodine should be added to 750 grams of carbon tetrachloride to prepare a 0.24 m solution
aleksley [76]

Answer:

0.18 mol

Explanation:

Given data

  • Mass of carbon tetrachloride (solvent): 750 g
  • Molality of the solution: 0.24 m
  • Moles of iodine (solute): ?

Step 1: Convert the mass of the solvent to kilograms

We will use the relationship 1 kg = 1,000 g.

750g \times \frac{1kg}{1,000g} =0.750kg

Step 2: Calculate the moles of the solute

The molality is equal to the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent. Then,

m = \frac{moles\ of\ solute }{kilograms\ of\ solvent} \\moles\ of\ solute = m \times kilograms\ of\ solvent = \frac{0.24mol}{kg}  \times 0.750kg = 0.18 mol

Answer:

Abrasion

Explanation:

Here's an example, strong winds on a beach where some rocks are cause the sand to rub against the rocks, causing heat and eventually crack and destroy the rock. The ice of glaciers can also break down rocks when rocks are frozen inside it, and that's cooling.
