A) Head to tail joining of monomers. :) (confirmed correct answer, I took the test)
The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
Na₂O₂
NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.
Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:
Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)
2Na + 2O = 0
O = –1
2Na + 2(–1) = 0
2Na – 2 = 0
Collect like terms
2Na = 0 + 2
2Na = 2
Divide both side by 2
Na = 2/2
Na = +1
Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
Answer:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.
Explanation:
This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside.
It begins with heating of phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of a catalyst such as hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride, or the base ammonia. This creates a liquid condensation product, referred to as Bakelite A, which is soluble in alcohol, acetone, or additional phenol.
