Answer:
a. 2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)
b. 0.957 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)
Step 2: Convert 130.0 °C to Kelvin
We will use the following expression.
K = °C + 273.15
K = 130.0°C + 273.15
K = 403.2 K
Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂
We will use the ideal gas equation.
P × V = n × R × T
n = P × V/R × T
n = 1 atm × 0.0730 L/0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 403.2 K
n = 2.21 × 10⁻³ mol
Step 4: Calculate the moles of HgO that produced 2.21 × 10⁻³ moles of O₂
The molar ratio of HgO to O₂ is 2:1. The moles of HgO required are 2/1 × 2.21 × 10⁻³ mol = 4.42 × 10⁻³ mol.
Step 5: Calculate the mass corresponding to 4.42 × 10⁻³ moles of HgO
The molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol.
4.42 × 10⁻³ mol × 216.59 g/mol = 0.957 g
NO₂ is a brown gas while N₂O₄ is colorless. If heating causes a brown color to persist, then this means that heating causes the reaction to shift backwards and produce NO₂. Therefore, the reaction must be exothermic.
Answer:
The molality of the solution is 0.3716 mol/kg
The number of moles of solute is 0.0157 mol
The molecular weight of the solute is 129.30 g/mol
The molar mass of the solute is 129.32 g/mol
Explanation:
m (molality of the solution) = ∆T/Kf = (43.17 - 40.32)/7.67 = 0.3716 mol/kg
Number of moles of solute = molality × mass of solvent in kilogram = 0.3716 × 0.04219 = 0.0157 mol
Molecular weight of solute = mass/number of moles = 2.03/0.0157 = 129.3 g/mol
When Kf = 7.66 °C.kg/mol
Molar mass = 2.03 ÷ (2.85/7.66 × 0.04219) = 129.32 g/mol
