HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

Given 3.4 grams of x compound with a molar mass of 85 g and 4.2 grams of y compound with a molar mass of 48 g How much of compou

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

$4.36~g~XY$

Explanation:

In this case, we can start with the reaction:

$2X + Y_2~->~2XY$

If we check the reaction, we will have 2 X and Y atoms on both sides. So, the reaction is balanced. Now, the problem give to us two amounts of reagents. Therefore, we have to find the limiting reagent. The first step then is to find the moles of each compound using the molar mass:

$3.4~g~X\frac{1~mol~X}{85~g~X}=0.04~mol~X$

$4.2~g~Y_2\frac{1~mol~Y_2}{48~g~Y_2}=0.0875~mol~Y_2$

Now, we can divide by the coefficient of each compound (given by the balanced reaction):

$\frac{0.04~mol~X}{1}=~0.04$

$\frac{0.0875~mol~Y_2}{2}=0.04375$

The smallest value is for "X", therefore this is our limiting reagent. Now, if we use the molar ratio between "X" and "XY" we can calculate the moles of XY, so:

$0.04~mol~X\frac{2~mol~XY}{2~mol~X}=0.04~mol~XY$

Finally, with the molar mass of "XY" we can calculate the grams. Now, we know that 1 mol X = 85 g X and 1 mol $Y_2$ = 48 g $Y_2$ (therefore 1 mol Y = 24 g Y). With this in mind the molar mass of XY would be 85+24 = 109 g/mol. With this in mind:

$0.04~mol~XY\frac{109~g~XY}{1~mol~XY}=4.36~g~XY$

I hope it helps!
