Answer:
2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2
The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2
Explanation:
HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
The equation can be balance as follow:
Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:
HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2
Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:
HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2
Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:
2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2
Now the equation is balanced.
The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2
The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product
Answer:
THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA OF THE SUBSTANCE IS C2H5NO
Explanation:
The steps involved in calculating the empirical formula of this substance in shown in the table below:
Element Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen
1. % Composition 40.66 8.53 23.72 27.09
2. Mole ratio =
%mass/ atomic mass 40.66/12 8.53/1 23.72/14 27.09/16
= 3.3883 8.53 1,6943 1.6931
3. Divide by smallest
value (0.6931) 3.3883/1.6931 8.53/1.6931 1.6943/1.6931 1.6931/1.6931
= 2.001 5.038 1.0007 1
4. Whole number ratio 2 5 1 1
The empirical formula = C2H5NO
substance is matter of particular or definite chemical constitution ex: iron, methane
mixture are two or more substances that have been combined to retain their individual chemical characteristics ex: salt water, cola
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The wavelength of a microwave is 7.42 mm or 0.00742 m
No. of photons, n = 359
We need to find the energy produced by this no of photons. It can be given by the formula as follows :
or
So, the required energy is 
.
