Answer:

The volume of the oxygen gas is 0.246 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 39 °C = 312 K

Temperature = 725 torr = 725 / 760 atm =  0.953947 atm

Mass of mercuric oxide = 3.97 grams

Molar mass of mercuric oxide = 216.59 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

2HgO → 2Hg + O2

Step 3: Calculate moles mercuric oxide

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles HgO = 3.97 grams / 216.59 g/mol

Moles HgO = 0.0183 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles oxyen

For 2 moles HgO we'll have 2 moles Hg and 1 mol O2

For 0.0183 moles HgO we'll have 0.0183/2 = 0.00915 moles O2

Step 4: Calculate volume O2

p*V = n*R*T

⇒with p = the pressure of the gas = 0.953947 atm

⇒with V = the volume of O2 gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with n = the moles of O2 = 0.00915 moles

⇒with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒with T = the temperature = 312 K

V = (n*R*T)/p

V = (0.00915 moles * 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K * 312 K ) / 0.953947 atm

V = 0.246 L

The volume of the oxygen gas is 0.246 L

. the density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (v). densit
ale4655 [162]

Density is intensive because it is the ratio of two extensive properties that is mass to volume.

<h3>What is Density ?</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume. S.I unit if density is kg/m³.

It is expressed as

Density = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}  or d = \frac{m}{V}

<h3>What is Intensive Property ? </h3>

Intensive property is the property which does not depend on the size of the system. Intensive property can be easily identified. Intensive property is the independent property. The size does not change in this.

Example of intensive property are Density, Freezing point, melting point, colour, Lustre, etc.  

<h3>What is Extensive property ?</h3>

Extensive property is the property which depend on the substance. Extensive property cannot be easily identified.

Example of extensive property length, weight, volume, mass etc.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that Density is intensive because it is the ratio of two extensive properties that is mass to volume.

Disclaimer: The given question is incomplete on the portal. Here is the complete question.

Question: The density (d) of a substance is an intensive property that is defined as the ratio of its mass (m) to its volume (v)

density = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}  or d = \frac{m}{V}

Considering that mass and volume are both extensive properties, explain why their ratio, density is intensive.

Which of these describes an exothermic reaction?
Paul [167]

A nswer: -

C. Energy is released by the reaction

Explanation:-

An exothermic reaction is one in which during the progress of the reaction heat is evolved.

So energy is released by the reaction.

It cannot be created as energy is neither created nor destroyed as per the Law of conservation of energy. Energy is not transferred either.

The energy released during the progress of the reaction originates from the chemical bonds of the reactants as they break during their conversion into products.

Find the % by mass of the solute in 129.54 g C6H1206 in 525 g H20.
belka [17]

Answer:

19.79%

Explanation:

mass % = (mass solute / total mass) * 100

total mass = 129.54 + 525 = 654.54

solute = C6H12O6

(129.54/654.54) = .1979

.1979 * 100 = 19.79%
