Joseph Priestley is credited with the discovery of oxygen. He pro- duced O2 by heating mercury(II) oxide, HgO, to decompose it i

nto its elements. How many moles of oxygen could Priestley have pro- duced if he had decomposed 517.84 g of mercury oxide?

Answer: 1.2 moles

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

\text{Number of moles of mercury oxide}=\frac{517.84g}{216.59g/mol}=2.4moles

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of HgO gives 1 mole of O_2

Thus 2.4 moles of HgO will give=\frac{1}{2}\times 2.4=1.2moles of O_2

Thus 1.2 moles of oxygen are produced.

Day and night are caused by... 1.the tilt of Earth's axis. 2. Earth's revolution around the sun. 3. eclipses. 4.Earth's rotation
Kryger [21]

Answer:

earths rotation on its axis

Explanation:

Day and night are due to the Earth rotating on its axis, not its orbiting around the sun. The term 'one day' is determined by the time the Earth takes to rotate once on its axis and includes both day time and night time.

What is the pH of a solution made by mixing 200 mL of 0.025M HCl and 150 mL of 0.050 M HCl?
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The answer to your question is pH = 1.45  

Explanation:

Data

pH = ?

Volume 1 = 200 ml

[HCl] 1 = 0.025 M

Volume 2 = 150 ml

[HCl] 2 = 0.050 M

Process

1.- Calculate the number of moles of each solution

Solution 1

                Molarity = moles / volume

-Solve for moles

                moles = 0.025 x 0.2

result

               moles = 0.005

Solution 2

               moles = 0.050 x 0.15

-result

                moles = 0.0075

2.- Sum up the number of moles

Total moles = 0.005 + 0.0075

                   = 0.0125

3.- Sum up the volume

total volume = 200 + 150

                     350 ml or 0.35 l

4.- Calculate the final concentration

Molarity = 0.0125 / 0.35

              = 0.0357

5.- Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺]

-Substitution

pH = -log[0.0357]

-Result

pH = 1.45

Draw a bond-line structure for CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2.<br><br> Include Lone Pairs in your answer.
mash [69]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

A bond line structure refers to any structure of a covalent molecule wherein the covalent bonds present in the molecule are represented with a single line for each level of bond order.

The bond-line structure of CH3CH2O(CH2)2CH(CH3)2 has been shown in the image attached. We know that oxygen has a lone pair of electrons and this has been clearly shown also in the image attached.
