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.

GUYS I NEED HELP THIS IS DUE TONIGHT !!!

Explanation:

To balance the reactions given, we must understand that the principle to follow is the law of conservation of matter.

Based on this premise, the number of moles of species on the reactant and product side must be the same;

Li + Br₂ → LiBr

Put a,b and c as the coefficient of each species

aLi + bBr₂ → cLiBr

balancing Li;

a = c

balancing Br;

2b = c

let a = 1;

c = 1

b = $\frac{1}{2}$

or a = 2, b = 1 , c = 2

2Li + Br₂ → 2LiBr

P + Cl₂ → PCl₃

Using the same method;

aP + bCl₂ → cPCl₃

balancing P;

a = c

balancing Cl;

2b = 3c

let a = 1;

c = 1

b = $\frac{3}{2}$

a = 2, b = 3, c = 2

2P + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃

iii,

H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + H₂O

use coefficients a,b,c and d;

aH₂ + bSO₂ → cH₂S + dH₂O

balancing H;

2a = 2c + 2d

balancing S;

b = c

balancing O

2b = d

let b = 1,

c = 1

d = 2

a = 3

3H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + 2H₂O

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

C. 1, 4–dimethyl–1–cyclohexene

D. 4, 6–dichloro–1–heptene

Explanation:

C. Determination of the name of the compound.

To name the compound given above we must observe the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound. In this case, the functional group is the double bond (–C=C–).

2. Determine the parent name by counting the number of carbon that makes up the ring. In this case, 6 carbon makes up the ring. Hence the parent name is cyclohexene.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound. In this case, two methyl group i.e –CH₃ are attached.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group attached by giving the functional group the lowest possible count. In this case, the functional group is at carbon 1, the first methyl group is at carbon 1 and the 2nd methyl group is at carbon 4.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name. Thus, the name of the compound is:

1, 4–dimethyl–1–cyclohexene.

D. Determination of the name of the compound.

To name the compound given above we must observe the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound. In this case, the functional group is the double bond (–C=C–).

2. Determine the parent name by counting the number of carbon that makes up the chain. In this case, 7 carbons makes up the chain. Hence, the parent name of the compound is heptene.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound. In this case, two chlorine (Chloro) i.e –Cl are attached.

4. Locate the position of the substituent group attached by giving the functional group the lowest possible count. In this case, the functional group is at carbon 1, the first chlorine is at carbon 4 and the 2nd is at carbon 6.

5. Combine the above to obtain the name. Thus, the name of the compound is:

4, 6–dichloro–1–heptene
