A.a decomposition reaction
kotykmax [81]3 years ago
5 0
In this reaction, reactant HgO decomposes into more than one products hence reaction is called decomposition.Hg in HgO has oxidation number of +2 whereas oxidation number of Hg in product side is zero( zero because Hg is in its elemental form) so Hg is reduced. Hence A is correct option.

Hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of a compound. What is the mass percent of hydrogen in the compound
morpeh [17]
Answer: 14.3%

Explanation: In order to find the mass percent of hydrogen in this compound, you must determine how many grams of hydrogen you'd get in 100 g of compound. 

In your case, you know that an unknown mass of hydrogen reacts with 0.771 g of carbon to form 0.90 g of hydrocarbon, which is a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen. 

Use the total mass of the hydrocarbon to determine how many grams of hydrogen reacted with the carbon.

Now, if 0.90 g of this compound contain 0.129 g of hydrogen, it follows that 100 g of this compound will contain.

So, if 100 g of this compound contain 14.33 g of hydrogen, it follows that the mass percent of hydrogen is 14.3%

Why is the base of an energy pyramid wider than the top
Zepler [3.9K]

It is due to a lack of providable energy to the next trophic level of the energy pyramid. Primary consumers only obtain around 10% of energy that producers have, and the energy depletes as you move further and further up the food chain, until you reach the tertiary consumers which have the least amount of energy at their disposal, meaning there are less of them than other organisms further down the energy pyramid.


Hope this helped!

3. Burns from boiling water can be severe, caused by the transfer of energy from the boiling water to the
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Q = 3937.56  J

Explanation:

Heat transferred due to change in temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T

c is the specific heat of water, c=4.18 J/g-°C

We have, m = 15 g, T_i=100^{\circ} C\ \text{and}\ T_f=37.2^{\circ} C

So,

Q=15\times 4.18\times (37.2-100)\\Q=-3937.56\ J

Hence, 3937.56  J of heat is transferred.

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole
Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

  • Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
  • Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
  • First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
  • Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
  • Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
  • Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.

Why were scientists unsure about the last common ancestor between apes and humans?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Scientists were unsure about the last common ancestor between apes and humans because fossils are so scarce, researchers do not know what the last common ancestors of living apes and humans looked like or where they originated.
