Balance the equation: ___HgO → ___O2 + ___Hg

Chemistry
2 answers:
wel3 years ago
7 0

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.

A sample of Br2 gas has a volume of 29.0L and a pressure of 1.50 atm. If the initial temperature of the gas is 23 °C, what volum
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

V₂ = 22.84 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 20.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.50 atm

Initial temperature = 23 °C (23 +273 = 296 K)

Final temperature = 271°C (271+273 = 544 K)

Final pressure = 3.50 atm

Final volume = ?

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 1.50 atm × 29.0L ×544 K / 296 K × 3.50 atm

V₂ = 23664 atm .L. K / 1036 atm.K

V₂ = 22.84 L

Which represents the greatest time frame in which a short-term environmental change can occur?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

in days

Explanation:

A short term environmental change refers to changes in the environment that happens within a short period of time, for example, flooding, drought, volcanic eruptions etc. In contrast to short term environmental change, long term environmental change takes place over a long period of time hence species have a longer time to adapt to it. Short term environmental changes may or may not be caused by humans. An example of a short term environmental change caused by humans is oil spillage. Short term environmental changes may lead to the the migration of species from the ecosystem.

Short term environmental changes usually occur within a very short time. The greatest time frame in which a short term environmental change can occur is in a matter of days. Only longterm environmental changes span hundreds and thousands of years.

Balance the equation.<br>P + 02 --&gt; P4O10​
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

4P + 5O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

P + O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

The above equation can be balance as illustrated below:

P + O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

There are 4 atoms of P on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by 4 in front of P as shown below:

4P + O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

There are 10 atoms of O on the right side and 2 atoms on the left side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of O₂ as shown below:

4P + 5O₂ —> P₄O₁₀

Now the equation is balanced.
