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 compound that occupies a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as a(n)?
Yuliya22 [10]

A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.

A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.

An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.

Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.

Calculate the molarity of a solution if there are 1.5 mol of NaCl in 2.3 L of solution
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

0.6522 mol/L.

Explanation:

<em>Molarity is defined as the no. of moles of a solute per 1.0 L of the solution.</em>

<em />

M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)).

<em>∴ M = (no. of moles of solute)/(V of the solution (L)) </em>= (1.5 mol)/(2.3 L) = <em>0.6522 mol/L.</em>

A student needed to make 100.0 mL of 0.20M NaOH solution. How many grams of sodium hydroxide does the student need to weigh out
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.08 g

Explanation:

100.0 mL = 0.10 L

Multiply the volume by the molarity to find moles.

0.10 L × 0.20 M = 0.002 mol

Convert moles to grams.

0.002 mol × 40 g/mol = 0.08 g
