Answer:

Option C. 8.91g

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2Pb(NO3)2 —> 2PbO + 4NO2 + O2

Next, we shall determine the mass of Pb(NO3)2 that decomposed and the mass PbO produced from the balanced equation.

This is illustrated below below:

Molar mass of Pb(NO3)2 = 207 + 2[14 + (16x3)]

= 207 + 2[14 + 48]

= 207 + 2[62] = 207 + 124

= 331g/mol

Mass of Pb(NO3)2 from the balanced equation = 2 x 331 = 662g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 16 = 223g/mol

Mass of PbO from the balanced equation = 2 x 223 = 446g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

662g of Pb(NO3)2 decomposed to produce 446g of PbO.

Finally, we can obtain the maximum mass of lead(II) oxide, PbO produced from 13.23g of lead (II) nitrate, Pb(NO3)2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

662g of Pb(NO3)2 decomposed to produce 446g of PbO.

Therefore, 13.23g of Pb(NO3)2 will decompose to produce = (13.23 x 446)/662 = 8.91g of PbO.

Therefore, 8.91g of PbO were obtained from the decomposition of 13.23g of Pb(NO3)2

In a calorimeter, 10 g of ice melts with a heat of fusion of 334 J/g. How much heat is released?

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

No heat is released.

Explanation:

A substance absorbs heat when it melts.

The formula for the heat absorbed is

$q = m\Delta_{\text{fus}}H$

Data:

m = 10 g

\Delta_{fus) H=\text{334 J/g}

Calculations:

$q = 10 \times 334 = \text{3340 J = 3.34 kJ}\\\text{The ice }\boxed{\textbf{absorbs 3.34 kJ}} \text{ when it melts}.$

How much of a 1.00 mg sample of americium remains after 3 half-lives?

notka56 [123]

Answer: 0.125mg americium

Half-lives is a set of duration when a sample will become half of their original mass. In this case, the initial mass is 1mg and the sample is going for 3 times half-lives. Then the calculation would be: 1mg $1/2^{3}$ = 1/8 mg= 0.125mg.
