Answer:

Hg^0+2OH^-\rightarrow Hg^{2+}O+H_2O+2e^-

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, mercury (II) oxide (HgO) is obtained via the reaction:

Hg(l)+O_2\rightarrow HgO

Nonetheless, since it is a reaction carried out in basic solution, mercury's half-reaction only, must be:

Hg^0+2OH^-\rightarrow Hg^{2+}O+H_2O+2e^-

Thus, it is seen that OH ionis should be added due to the basic aqueous solution considering that 2 electrons are transferred from 0 to 2 in mercury.

Best regards.

List all the physical properties of the iceberg.
Semmy [17]

Answer: My answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Physical and mechanical characteristics of iceberg ice were studied from samples collected near the shores of eastern Newfoundland. Although the physical characteristics show considerable diversity, iceberg ice has some common features and is generally porous, lacks significant concentrations of dissolved materials, contains internal cracks and has an irregular interlocking grain structure.

Guys, how do i know whether the forces of attraction is strong or weak?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Whether the forces of attraction is strong or weak is explained below in details.

Explanation:

There are three distinct kinds of intermolecular forces in expressions of energy. They are (strongest to weakest) dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Waals' strengths. Intermolecular forces are weak related to intramolecular forces – the energies which endure a molecule collectively. For instance, the covalent bond, including distributing electron sets among atoms, is much more powerful than the forces impersonate among neighboring molecules.

How many molecules in 9.18 moles of C11H12O22
Setler [38]

Answer:

55.3 × 10²³ molecules

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of C₁₁H₁₂O₂₂ = 9.18 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given data:

9.18 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ molecules /1 mol

55.3 × 10²³ molecules

If 8cm^3 of H2 reacts with an excess of Cl2, calculate how much of the HCL(g) is produced.
Rom4ik [11]
First, we need the balanced equation: H₂ + Cl₂ ---> 2HCl

since not much information is given, I am assuming we are at STP and that 22.4 Liters= 1 mol

1) let's convert the volume to moles using the molar volume of a gas. also we need to convert the cm₃ to mL, then to Liters.

8 cm³ (1 ml/ 1 cm³)(1 L/ 1000 mL) (1 mol/ 22.4 Liters)= 3.6x10⁻⁴ moles of H₂

2) let's use the mole ratio of the balanced equation to convert moles of H₂ to moles of HCl

3.6x10⁻⁴ mol H₂ (2 mol HCl/ 1 mol H₂)= 7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl

3) lastly, we convert the moles of HCl to grams using the molar mass.

molar mass of HCl= 1.01 + 35.5= 36.51 g/mol

7.1x10⁻⁴ mol HCl (36.51 g/mol)=<span> 0.026 grams HCl</span>
