How much heat is absorbed in the complete reaction of 3.00 grams of SiO2 with excess carbon in the reaction SiO2(g) + 3C(s) → Si

defon

Answer:

31.24 kJ

Explanation:

SiO₂(g) + 3C(s) → SiC(s) + 2CO(g) ΔH° = 624.7 kJ/mol

First we convert 3.00 grams of SiO₂ to moles, using its molar mass:

3.00 g SiO₂ ÷ 60.08 g/mol = 0.05 mol

Now we calculate the heat absorbed, using the given ΔH°:

If the complete reaction of 1 mol of SiO₂ absorbs 624.7 kJ, then with 0.05 mol:

0.05 mol * 624.7 kJ/mol = 31.24 kJ of heat would be absorbed.

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with

grandymaker [24]

$\text{Hg} \text{O}$ and $\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})$
$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})$

First compound:

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.6498 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol$

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a $1:1$ ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be $\text{Hg} \text{O}$ where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

$m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g$
$m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012 \; g$

$n = m/M$ ; $0.4172 \; g$ of the first compound would contain

$n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol$
$n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol$

$n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx 2:1$ and therefore the empirical formula

$\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}$ .

what can we tell about an unknown substance based on its properties. Its science btw, i couldnt find the science subject

dsp73

Answer:

Measuring its density and comparing your result to a list of known densities, or other properties that give you useful info

Explanation:

You can use observations about substances to form a hypothesis about the substance by comparing it to others. Ex: if something is magnetic it must be made of one or more of the elements iron, cobalt, or nickel.

Could a mixture be made up of only elements and no compounds. explain

lbvjy [14]

Yes, because a mixture is 2 or more substances that are mixed together (not chemically). A mixture could be two different elements physically combined in a set ratio.
