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

Alkynes have what in<br> common with alkenes ?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are simple hydrocarbon chains with no functional groups. Alkanes are identified because the carbon chain has only single bonds. Alkenes have at least one double bond and alkynes have at least one triple bond. The most common alkyne is ethyne, better known as acetylene.
