The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
Answer:
B
Explanation:
it is bigger then earth so it will have a greater mass.
The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Molecular formula : C₁₀H₅O₂
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
The empirical formula (EF) is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.
The molecular formula (MF) is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.
(empirical formula) n = molecular formula
<em>(EF)n=MF
</em>
(EF)n = C₁₀H₅O₂
If we divide by the number of moles of Oxygen (the smallest) which is 2 then the moles of Hydrogen will be a decimal number (not whole), which is 2.5, then the empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula
