Answer:
18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes to produce 9.0 grams of mercury
Explanation:
Mercury oxide has molar mass of 216.6 g/ mol. It gas a molecular formula of HgO.
The decomposition of mercury oxide is given by the chemical equation below:
2HgO ----> 2Hg + O₂
2 moles of HgO decomposes to produce 1 mole of Hg
2 moles of HgO has a mass of 433.2 g
433.2 g of HgO produces 216.6 g of Hg
18.0 of HgO will produce 18 × 216.6/433.2 g of Hg = 9.0 g of Hg
Therefore, 18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes to produce 9.0 grams of mercury
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
82.11%
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
- Theoretical mass of the product is 137.5 g
- Actual mass of the product is 112.9 g
We are supposed to calculate the percentage yield
- We need to know how percentage yield is calculated;
- To calculate the percentage yield we get the ratio of the actual mass to theoretical mass and express it as a percentage.
Thus;
% yield = (Actual mass ÷ Experimental mass) × 100%
= (112.9 g ÷ 137.5 g) × 100%
= 82.11%
Therefore, the percentage yield of the product is 82.11 %
