Answer:

It would be compound.

Explanation:

It is this way because if it adds another proton it becomes more positive that nuetral, and if you add an electron it just makes the atom more dense. That is why the answer is compound. Hope this helped :)

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

Igoryamba

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

When a solution forms, what interactions between particles are involved? Which are exothermic? Which are endothermic?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are three types of interactions involved between the particles when solution are formed.

1 : Solute - solute interaction:

2 : Solute - solvent interaction:

3 : Solvent - solvent interaction:

1 : Solute - solute interaction:

It is the inter-molecular attraction between the solute particles.

2 : Solute - solvent interaction:

It involve the inter-molecular attraction between solvent and solute particles.

3 : Solvent - solvent interaction:

It involve the intermolecular attraction between solvent particles.

Solutions are formed if the intermolecular attraction between solute particles are similar to the attraction between solvent particles.

Exothermic process:

The process will exothermic when solute solvent bonds are formed with the release of energy and energy required to brake the solute-solute particles and solvent solvent particles are less.

Endothermic process:

The process will be endothermic when energy required to break the solute-solute particles and solvent solvent particles are higher than energy released when solute solvent bonds are formed .

If you start with 0.020 g of Mg, how many moles of H2 will you make if the reaction is complete?

irina [24]

If one starts with 0.020 g of Mg, 0.0008 moles of H2 would be made if the reaction is complete.

Going by the balanced equation of reaction in the image, 1 mole of Mg will produce 1 mole of H2 in a complete reaction.

If 0.020 g of Mg is started with:

mole of Mg = mass/molar mass

= 0.020/24.3

= 0.0008 moles

Since the mole of Mg to H2 is 1:1, thus, 0.0008 moles of H2 will also be made from the reaction.

The oxidation of Cu₂O(s) to CuO(s) is an exothermic process:

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

w = 7376.6 J

Explanation:

To calculate the work done in the system, we need first to calculate the number of moles of all compounds.

The following expression, that comes from the 1° law of thermodynamic, will help you to get the work:

w = ΔnRT

Where:

Δn: difference in the number of moles between products and reactants

R: constant universal of gases (8.314 J / mol K)

T: Temperature in Kelvin.

As we are doing this reaction in STP, then the Pressure is 1 atm, and temperature is 0 °C or 273 K.

Now, we already have the moles of Cu₂O, let's see, according to the balanced reaction, how many moles we should have of O₂ and CuO.

If 1 mole of O₂ reacts with 2 moles of Cu₂O then 6.5 moles of Cu₂O will be:

moles O₂ = 6.5 moles Cu₂O * (1 mole O₂/2 moles Cu₂O) = 3.25 moles O₂

If 2 moles of Cu₂O produces 4 moles of CuO, then 6.5 moles will be:

moles CuO = 6.5 moles Cu₂O*(4 moles CuO/2 moles Cu₂O) = 13 moles CuO

Now that we have the moles, let's calculate the value of Δn.

Δn = moles product - moles reactants

Δn = 13 - (6.5 + 3.25) = 3.25 moles

Now, we can calculate the work done in the system:

w = 3.25 * (8.314 * 273)

Hope this helps
