It would (probably) be:
CuSO4 + Zn(NO3)2 -> Cu(NO3)2 + ZnSO4
Answer:
m = 0.3249 g
Explanation:
First, I'm assuming you have a reaction of mercury(II) oxyde descomposition. If this is the case, then the equation to use is the following:
HgO ---------> Hg + O2
Balancing the equation:
2HgO ----------> 2Hg + O2
This means that 2 moles of HgO reacts to produce 1 mole of O2, so, we first calculate the moles of O2, then, the moles of HgO and finally the mass:
We have the volume of O2, the pressure and temperature, so let's use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT
Solving for n:
n = PV/RT
R: 0.082 L atm / K mole
T = 70 + 273 = 343 K
V = 83 / 1000 = 0.083 L
Calculating n:
n = 1 * 0.083 / 0.082 * 343
n = 0.003 moles
as stated before, 2 moles of HgO reacts with 1 mole of oxygen so:
2 moles HgO = 1 moles O2
moles HgO = moles O2 / 2
moles HgO = 0.003 / 2 = 0.0015 moles
Finally, to calculate the mass:
m = n * MM
the molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol, so replacing:
m = 0.0015 * 216.59
m = 0.3249 g
1.) A compound is a substance that originates from two or more separate elements. It shares some similarities with a mixture.
2.) A compound has quite different properties from which it was formed. It also cannot be separated easily. Compounds are formed by chemical reactions.
3.) A pure substance has a constant composition and has consistent properties. It can be a compound or an element, but its composition is constant.
Hope this helps. :)
