7.9moles of Hg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of HgO = 8.23moles

Number of moles of CO = 7.90moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of Hg produced = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we work from the known to the unknown substance. Here we will use the limiting reagent to determine the amount of product that is being formed.

The limiting reagent is the one in short supply in the reaction;

  Reaction equation;

 

         HgO + CO → Hg + CO₂

The reaction above is balanced with respect to the number of atoms

Now we need to determine the limiting reagent;

  In the reaction;

   1 mole of HgO reacts with 1 mole of CO

  8.23 mole of HgO will require 8.23 mole of CO

but we were given 7.9 mole of CO. This is the limiting reagent and it will determine the extent of the reaction.

Therefore;

   I mole of CO will produce 1 mole of Hg

  7.9moles of CO will produce 7.9moles of Hg

Energía necesaria para arrancar un electrón de un átomo neutro​
zalisa [80]
La energía de ionización o potencial de ionización, es la energía necesaria para extraer un electrón de un átomo neutro. Por ejemplo, cuando un átomo de cloro neutro en forma gaseosa recoge un electrón para formar un ion Cl-, libera una energía de 349 kJ/mol o 3,6 eV/átomo.

Radioactive cobalt-60 is frequently used in treating cancer. It took 24 years for a 10 gram sample to decay to 0.625 grams. What
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Half life is 6 years.

Explanation:

T½ = In2 / λ

Where λ = decay constant.

But N = No * e^-λt

Where N = final mass after a certain period of time

No = initial mass

T = time

N = 0.625g

No = 10g

t = 24 years

N = No* e^-λt

N / No = e^-λt

λ = -( 1 / t) In N / No (inverse of e is In. Check logarithmic rules)

λ = -(1 / 24) * In (0.625/10)

λ = -0.04167 * In(0.0625)

λ = -0.04167 * (-2.77)

λ = 0.1154

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / 0.1154

T½ = 6.00 years.

The half life of radioactive cobalt-60 is 6 years

What is the correct balanced equation for the following equilibrium constant expression?
weeeeeb [17]
The correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇄ 2CO(g)  + O2(g)

this is the correct one because it is a decomposition reaction and all the number of atoms is equal on both sides.

there are 2 C atoms on both sides. 

and 4 O atoms on both sides.

and 1) the atoms numbers are equal on both sides but not correct as it not a

correct number as it has 1/2 O2.


and 2) CO2(g) ⇆ CO(g) + O2 

the number of O atoms is not equal on both sides of the equation.

we have 2 O atoms on the left side and 3 O atoms on the right side.

so, this not a balanced equation.

4) also not correct 2CO(g) + O2 ⇆ 2CO2

as it is not a decomposition reaction and the 2CO & O2 are as reactants not products.

so the correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇆ 2CO(g) + O2(g)

How does knowing the reactants and ______ help you classify a chemical reaction ?
zepelin [54]
The products. Without a balanced chemical equation, there is no reaction that can take place. The products is the final reation and the reactants help the final reaction take place.
