How much mercury and oxygen could be obtained from 21.7g of mercury (II) oxide

Chemistry
1 answer:
Musya8 [376]3 years ago

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

1. When two atoms with different electronegativities are bonded together, a bond dipole exists. These are displayed with an arro
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

In order: LOWER, HIGHER, NEGATIVE, POSITIVE, INCREASE

Explanation:

First you must consider the definition of electronegativity.

All in all, electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons to itself. For this explanation, let's just consider the groups 1, 2, 13-17, and the noble gases of the periodic table. Furthermore, let's also consider the octet rule. The octet rule says that the last orbit of an atom tends to have 8 electrons in order to be stable.

If you take an atom like Sodium (Na) and search its distribution of electrons by levels, you'll see these number in the last two orbits: 8.1

The penultimate orbit has 8 electrons and the last one has only 1. Therefore, in order to futfill the octet rule what do you think it's easier? Losing the last electron and leaving the 8 electrones of the penultimate orbit as last orbit? Or maybe taking 7 electrons for the last orbit and, hence, futfilling the octet? Well, the answer is the first case.

The more you move from group to group (i.e, rightwards in the periodic table), more electrons will have in their last orbit.

So, in order to respond your question: Yes you should display it like this:

A --> B

Consider A and B two random atoms, for which B's electronegativity is higher than A's. This arrow shows the tendency of the electron flow.

As electrons go to the more electronegative atom, the whole electronic ''cloud'' will tend to be closer to B, because this atom is more electronegative. Hence, there will be a partial (not fixed) negative charge on B rather than on A. This is due to B's high electronegativity. This means that the negative charge will spend more time on B rather than on A, this is what partial negative charge means.

The higher the electronegativity is, the higher the magnitudes of the partial charges --> Therefore, these partial charges are increased and sometimes it might lead to the chemical bond breakage.

How do the densities of the two objects compare?
Marizza181 [45]
Compare the density of the object in question to the density of water. If its density is less than water, it will float. For example, oak floats because its density is 0.7 g/cm³. If the density of an object is greater than water, it will sink.

Explain why, when the imidazole ring of histidine is protonated, the double-bonded nitrogen is the nitrogen that accepts the pro
eduard
The important thing to note is the reason why electron react is due to the instability of the electrons. All elements wants to aim the electron configuration of the noble gases. This is the most stable form in which each of the orbitals are sufficiently filled. When it comes to bonding, the order of reactivity is: alkynes > alkenes > alkanes. Alkynes are compounds with triple bonds, alkenes with double bonds and alkanes with single bonds. The single bonds are called saturated hydrocarbons. This is because they have reached stability, so it is quite difficult to react this with reducing or oxidizing agents. Alkynes and alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons. They readily react with reducing and oxidizing agents so as to become saturated, as well. The underlying principle for this is that single bonds contain sigma bonds which is the head-on overlapping of electrons. These is the strongest type of covalent bond. Double and triple bonds contain pi bonds which is the side overlapping of electrons orbitals. Hence, these electrons would be easily separated making it more reactive especially during protonation.

13. A mixture of MgCO3 and MgCO3.3H2O has a mass of 3.883 g. After heating to drive off all the water the mass is 2.927 g. What
rjkz [21]

Answer:

63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass

Explanation:

<em>of MgCO3.3H2O in the mixture?</em>

The difference in masses after heating the mixture = Mass of water. With the mass of water we can find its moles and the moles and mass of MgCO3.3H2O to find the mass percent as follows:

<em>Mass water:</em>

3.883g - 2.927g = 0.956g water

<em>Moles water -18.01g/mol-</em>

0.956g water * (1mol/18.01g) = 0.05308 moles H2O.

<em>Moles MgCO3.3H2O:</em>

0.05308 moles H2O * (1mol MgCO3.3H2O / 3mol H2O) =

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O

<em>Mass MgCO3.3H2O -Molar mass: 138.3597g/mol-</em>

0.01769 moles MgCO3.3H2O * (138.3597g/mol) = 2.448g MgCO3.3H2O

<em>Mass percent:</em>

2.448g MgCO3.3H2O / 3.883g Mixture * 100 =

<h3>63.05% of MgCO3.3H2O by mass</h3>
