Answer : The mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of 2HgO = Total mass of 2Hg+O_2

As we are given :

The mass of HgO = 25.3 grams

The mass of Hg = 23.4 grams

So,

2\times 25.3g=2\times 23.4g+\text{Mass of }O_2

50.6g=46.8g+\text{Mass of }O_2

\text{Mass of }O_2=3.8g

Therefore, the mass of oxygen formed must be 3.8 grams.

A blacksmith heated an iron bar to 1445 °C. The blacksmith then tempered the metal by dropping it into 42,800 mL of
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

6626 g

Explanation:

Given that:

Density of water = 1.00 g/ml, volume of water = 42800 ml.

Since density = mass/ volume

mass of water = volume of water * density of water = 42800 ml * 1 g/ml = 42800 g

Initial temperature of water = 22°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

specific heat capacity for water = 4.184 J/g°C

ΔT water = 45 - 22 = 23°C

For iron:

mass = m,  

specific heat capacity for iron  = 0.444 J/g°C

Initial temperature of iron = 1445°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

ΔT iron = 45 - 1445 = -1400°C

Quantity of heat (Q) to raised the temperature of a body is given as:

Q = mCΔT

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of water is equal to the temperature loss by the iron.

Q water (gain) + Q iron (loss) = 0

Q water = - Q iron

42800 g ×  4.184 J/g°C × 23°C = -m × 0.444 J/g°C × -1400°C

m = 4118729.6/621.6

m = 6626 g

What is the molar mass of water (H2O)?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The molar mass is: 18.02 g/mol.

Explanation:

  • Mass of two moles of Hydrogen atoms (H2) = 2x 1 g/mol = 2 g/mol.
  • Mass of one mole of water (H2O) = 2 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol.

1 mole of Hydrogen= 1.01, so if we have 2 moles of it here, that would be 2.02.

1 mole of Oxygen (that's all we have here)= 16.00

Once you add the two together (2.02+16.00), you will get 18.02.

I hope this made sense! Have a great day!
