HgO➡️Hg➡️O(subscript 2)

1 answer:

8 0

So in order to answer this we need the number of moles of oxygen and the right stoichiometry.
The balanced reaction should be 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2, therefore 2 moles of mercury are produced for every one mole of oxygen gas. Since we have the mass of O2 we can calculate the moles as moles = mass/RMM where RMM is the relative molecular mass of O2, which is 32 g/mol. Therefore the number of moles = 125/16 = 3.9 mol.
Since 2 moles of Hg are produced for every one mole of O2, the number of moles of Hg = 3.9*2 = 7.8 mol.

What is the mass of sodium (Na) in 50 grams of table salt (NaCl)? Show your work.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

19 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Sodium Chloride (table salt) = 50 g

Amount of sodium (Na) = ?

Solution:

Molecular weight calculation:

NaCl = 23 + 35.5

NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Mass contributed by Sodium = 23 g

calculate the mole percent composition of sodium (Na) in sodium Chloride.

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

Percent of sodium (Na) = 23 / 58.5 x 100

Percent of sodium (Na) = 39.3 %

It means that for ever gram of sodium chloride there is 0.393 g of Na is present.

So,

for the 50 grams of table salt (NaCl) the mass of Na will be

mass of sodium (Na) = 0.393 x 50 g

mass of sodium (Na) = 19 g

Some of the NH₄+ will combine with the OH- and shift the equilibrium backwards and from NH₄OH to balance the change produced by addition of NH₄+ ions.
