20.06 g of Hg  and 1.6 g of O₂

<u>Explanation:</u>

To Find:

Number of Mercury and oxygen that can be obtained from 21.7 g of HgO

First we have to write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of Mercury(II) oxide as,

2 HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)

21.7 g of HgO  = \frac{21.7 g}{216.59  g / mol}  

                         = 0.1 mol of HgO.

As per the above equation, we can find the mole ratio between HgO and Hg is 1: 1 and that of HgO and oxygen is 2:1 .

So amount of Hg produced = 0.1 mol × 200.59 g / mol ( molar mass of Hg)

                                                 = 20.06 g of Hg

Amount of oxygen produced = 0.05  mol × 32 g/ mol = 1.6 g of O₂

Thus it is clear that 20.06 g of Hg  and 1.6 g of O₂  is obtained from 21.7 g of HgO

When rubidium ions are heated to a high temperature, two lines are observed in its line spectrum at wavelengths (a) 7.9 × 10−7 m
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The frequencies of the two lines are:

a) 3.79\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

b)7.14\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

When we heat rubidium compound we will see red color.

Explanation:

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

a) Frequency of the light when wavelength is equal to 7.9\times 10^{-7} m

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s)}{7.9\times 10^{-7}}

\nu=3.79\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

This frequency corresponds to red light

b) Frequency of the light when wavelength is equal to 4.2\times 10^{-7} m

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda }

\nu=\frac{3\times 10^8m/s)}{4.2\times 10^{-7}}

\nu=7.14\times 10^{14} s^{-1}

This frequency corresponds to violet light

When we heat rubidium compound we will see red color.
