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

A spectrophotometer measures the transmittance or the absorbance, or both, of a particular wavelength of light after it has pass
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:Answer: The step that is NOT necessary to complete before a cuvette is placed into the spectrophotometer is option B (Write, in ink, either sample or blank on the side of the cuvette to keep track of them)

Explanation: spectrophotometer is an instrument used to measure the light intensity absorbed after being passed through a solution. Before the absorbance of the sample solution, a solvent solution called blank is used for the calibration of the machine and this blank solvent is placed in a cuvette. The procedure usually comes first before the main sample is processed. Therefore there is no need to

Write, in ink, either sample or blank on the side of the cuvette to keep track of them. This is so since sample and blank is not absorbed at the same time by the machine.

7. Which of the following would lower the pitch of a string instrument's sound?
vfiekz [6]

The correct option is C.

The pitch of a string refers to the quality of sound that is produced by the string when it vibrates. There are three basic factors that affect the quality of pitch of a string, these are: the tension, the thickness of the string and the length of the string. The higher the thickness of the string, the lower the pitch of the string, thus, increasing the thickness of the string will lower the pitch.
