Correct Question:
A spectator ion is (Select all that apply.)
- a piece of french fry contaminating the reaction mixture
- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction
-in this experiment, nitrate ion
- your eye, carefully watching the progress of the reaction
Answer:
- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction
Explanation:
A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation. A spectator ion is one that exists in the same form on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction.
Spectator ions are ions that are present in a solution but don't take part in the reaction. When reactants dissociate into ions, some of the ions may combine to form a new compound. The other ions don't take part in this chemical reaction and are therefore called spectator ions.
The correct option is therefore the option;
- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction
It will have an overall positive charge.
Answer is: the percent composition of Hg in the compound is 71.5%.
Balanced chemical reaction: Hg + Br₂ → HgBr₂.
m(Hg) = 60.2 g; mass of the mercury.
m(Br₂) = 24.0; mass of the bromine.
m(HgBr₂) = m(Hg) + m(Br₂).
m(HgBr₂) = 60.2 g + 24 g.
m(HgBr₂) = 84.2 g; mass of the compound.
ω(Hg) = m(Hg) ÷ m(HgBr₂) · 100%.
ω(Hg) = 60.2 g ÷ 84.2 g · 100%.
ω(Hg) = 71.5%.
The correct answer is slow
