bekas [8.4K]3 years ago

6 0

Add up the molar mass of Mercury Oxide, and then divide the molar mass of Oxygen by the molar mass of the compound.

So...

mm of Hg + mm of O= 200.59g + 16g= 217g

16g/217g = .0737... x 100 = 7.37%

How many molecules of oxygen are produced when a sample of 38.9 g of water is decomposed by electricity?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

A) $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of water = 38.9

M = Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

The reaction of electrolysis would be

$2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_2(g)+O_2(g)$

Number of moles of $H_2O$

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{38.9}{18}\ \text{mol}$

From the reaction it can be seen that 2 moles of $H_2O$ gives 1 mole of $O_2$

So, number of moles of $O_2$ produced is

$\dfrac{38.9}{18}\times \dfrac{1}{2}=1.081\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules

$1.081N_A=1.081\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\ =6.5\times 10^{23}$

So, $6.5\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$ of oxygen is produced.

(c) O2 gas is transferred from a 3 L vessel containing oxygen at 4 atm to an evacuated 20 L vessel at a constant temperature of

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

After the transfer the pressure inside the 20 L vessel is 0.6 atm.

Explanation:

Considering O2 as an ideal gas, it is at an initial state (1) with V1 = 3L and P1 = 4 atm. And a final state (2) with V2 = 20L. The temperature remain constant at all the process, thus here applies the Boyle-Mariotte law. This law establishes that at a constant temperature an ideal gas the relationship between pressure and volume remain constant at all time:

$P x V = k$
