Answer:

6.50 grams of the compound X is nitrogen

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound X = 37.8 grams

Compound contains 17.2 % N

Step 2: Calculate mass of nitrogen

Mass nitrogen = % Nitrogen * total mass

Mass nitrogen = 17.2 % * 37.8 grams = 0.172 * 37.8 grams

Mass nitrogen = 6.50 grams

6.50 grams of the compound X is nitrogen

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
Igoryamba

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

Can someone help with question 6 ASAP
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A metalloid is a type of chemical element which has a preponderance of properties in between, or that are a mixture of, those of metals and nonmetals. There is no standard definition of a metalloid and no complete agreement on which elements are metalloids. Despite the lack of specificity, the term remains in use in the literature of chemistry.

A series of six elements called the metalloids separate the metals from the nonmetals in the periodic table. The metalloids are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium. These elements look metallic; however, they do not conduct electricity as well as metals so they are semiconductors. They are semiconductors because their electrons are more tightly bound to their nuclei than are those of metallic conductors. Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form monatomic anions. This intermediate behavior is in part due to their intermediate electronegativity values. In this section, we will briefly discuss the chemical behavior of metalloids and deal with two of these elements—boron and silicon—in more detail.

A car travels at a speed of 80 km/h. Which of the following is correct to convert the speed of the car to hm/s? [1 km = 10 hm, 1
amm1812

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that car travels with a speed of 80 km/hr and we need to convert it into hm/s.

For that we use the conversions:

1 kilometer = 10 hectometer

And, 1 hour = 3600 seconds

To convert the quantity into hm/s, we multiply the numerator which is 80 by 10 to convert the whole quantity into hm/hr and now, to convert the result into hm/s finally, we divide the result by 3600.

\Rightarrow (\frac{80km1}{hr})(\frac{10hm}{1km})=\frac{80km}{hr}\\\\\Rightarrow (\frac{80km}{hr})(\frac{1hr}{3600s})=\frac{80hm}{3600s}

Hence, the correct answer is option D.
