Answer:

There is no way of finding the volume of an irregular shape.

We cant find the volume of an irregular solid because we can never measure the volume of curves that are present in an irregularly shaped object. so we tend to place this irregular object in a beaker of water so that the volume of water displaced by it will actually show us the volume of object itself. And now we can conclude that water displacement is an effective way of measuring the volume of an irregular solid there is no way of finding the volume of an irregular shape.

How many grams of sulfur are needed to react completely with 246 g of mercury to form hgs?
iren [92.7K]

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
