You can make a homemade filter and separate the two mixtures

First, you mix the salt and sand with water, so the salt dissolves. Next, you filter the sand out, so you have the slat water and sand separated. Then, you evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

68.3g

Explanation:

1. Word equation:

mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen

2. Balanced molecular equation:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

3. Mole ratio

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

6. Convert to mass

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

Calculate the percent of each component in the mixture. Show your calculations. Circle final answers.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete; as the mixtures are not given.

However, I'll give a general explanation on how to go about it and I'll also give an example.

The percentage of a component in a mixture is calculated as:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

Where

E = Amount of element/component

T = Amount of all elements/components

Take for instance:

In $(Ca(OH)_2)$

The amount of all elements is: (i.e formula mass of $(Ca(OH)_2)$ )

$T = 1 * Ca + 2 * H + 2 * O$

$T = 1 * 40 + 2 * 1 + 2 * 16$

$T = 74$

The amount of calcium is: (i.e formula mass of calcium)

$E = 1 * Ca$

$E = 1 * 40$

$E = 40$

So, the percentage component of calcium is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{40}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{4000}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 54.05\%$

The amount of hydrogen is:

$E = 2 * H$

$E = 2 * 1$

$E = 2$

So, the percentage component of hydrogen is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{2}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{200}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 2.70\%$

Similarly, for oxygen:

The amount of oxygen is:

$E = 2 * O$

$E = 2 * 16$

$E = 32$

So, the percentage component of oxygen is:

$\%C_E = \frac{E}{T} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{32}{74} * 100\%$

$\%C_E = \frac{3200}{74}\%$

$\%C_E = 43.24\%$
