Answer:

1. HgO(s) → Hg(l) + 0.5 O₂(g)

2. 0.858 g

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775.

<em>1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid mercury(II) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen. </em>

<em>2. Suppose 59.0 mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 90.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of mercury(II) oxide that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>

1.

The balanced chemical equation is:

HgO(s) → Hg(l) + 0.5 O₂(g)

2.

First, we will calculate the moles of O₂ using the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V / R × T

n = 1 atm × 0.0590 L / 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 363.2 K

n = 1.98 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of HgO to O₂ is 1:0.5. The moles of HgO are (1/0.5) × 1.98 × 10⁻³ mol = 3.96 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol. The mass of HgO is:

3.96 × 10⁻³ mol × 216.59 g/mol = 0.858 g

PLEASE HELP ME, 20 POINTS
Marrrta [24]

Explanations:

<u>Question</u> <u>1:</u> Lithium in 20.00+ g is C. or D., but 25.00+ g is D. which means this is the correct option.

I am unsure of <u>Question</u> <u>2</u>. I don't think it is mole though.

<u>Question</u> <u>3:</u> Boron in 25.00-30.00 g is B. or D., but 25.00 g would be C.

<u>Question</u> <u>4:</u> 2.393 x 1024 atoms of Oxygen is 63.58 mole O. I don't know for sure, but I think this is correct.

If a liquid substance is transferred to a different container, what can be predicted about the volume of the liquid in the new c
taurus [48]

The same

Explanation:

If a liquid substance is transferred to a different container, the volume of the liquid in the new container will remain the same.

The volumes of liquids are fixed and does not change. Wherever they are contained, just like solids, they maintain their constant space.

  • Volume is the amount of space occupied by a body.
  • Gases do not have fixed volume as they fill their containers and they take up the shape.
  • Solids and liquids have a fixed volume.
  • They do not change their volume.
