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

if the same amount of heat is added to 50.0 g samples of each of the metals, which are all at the same temperature, which metal
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The metal which will reach the highest temperature is the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity.

<h3>What is the amount of heat added to each metal?</h3>

The amount of heat Q = mcΔT where

  • m = mass of metal
  • c = specific heat capacity of mateal and
  • ΔT = temperature change

<h3>Temperature change of the metal</h3>

Making ΔT subject of the formula, we have

ΔT = Q/mc

Given that Q and m are the same for each metal,

ΔT ∝ 1/c

We see that the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific heat capacity.

Since the metals are at the same temperature, the metal which will reach the highest temperature is the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity.

So, the metal which will reach the highest temperature is the metal with the lowest specific heat capacity.

A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 300K. What is the volume at 132.0 °C?
lozanna [386]
V1/T1=V2/T2
V2=(V1)(T2)/T1
Plug in values given (for the temp you can either turn 300K to 27°C or turn 132°C into kelvin
V2= 4400 mL= 4.4L

Carbon and silicon are tetravalent but ge sn pb show di valency. Why
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect.  .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.
