Why does an egg sink in fresh water but float in salt water??

1 answer:

5 0

If an object is less dense than the water around it, it will float. Because salt water is denser than freshwater, some things float more easily in the ocean—or extremely salty bodies of the water, such as the Dead Sea. You can make your own dense water by adding salt to tap water.

What mass of HgO is required to produce 0.692 mol of O2? 2HgO(s) -> 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

Vika [28.1K]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule

Explanation:

Given:

no of moles of the oxygen gas = 0.692

Also given:

2 HgO → 2 Hg + $O_{2}$

where,

HgO represents mercuric oxide

Hg represents mercury

$O_{2}$ represents oxygen

To calculate:

Molar mass of HgO:

Molar mass of HgO = 216 grams

molar mass of mercury (Hg) = 200 grams

molar mass of oxygen (O) =16 grams

HgO = 200 +16 = 216 grams

We know;

2×216 grams of HgO → 1 mole of oxygen molecule

? → 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule

= $\frac{2*216*0.692}{1}$

= 298.944 grams of HgO

Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule

Calculate the number of ATOMS in 1.0 mole of O2.

Wewaii [24]

There is 6.02*10^23 molecule per mole. And there is 2 atoms per oxygen molecule. So the answer is 1.204*10^24 atoms in 1.0 mole of O2.
