The reaction is incorrect. The correct reaction is: Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃. The options are:

A. Hg₂SO₄

B. Na₂SO₄

C. Na⁺

D. NO₃⁻

E. SO₄⁻²

F. Hg₂(NO₃)₂

G. NaNO₃

H. Hg⁺²

Answer:

C, D, E, H

Explanation:

The ions are formed after dissociation of the compound in the solution. When they're negatively charged, they're called anions, when they're negatively charged, they're called cations. If the ion is presented on both sides of the reaction, it is called a spectator ion.

Thus, the reaction given:

Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

So, let's do the dissociation.

Na₂SO₄ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and SO₄⁻²;

Hg(NO₃)₂ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and NO₃⁻;

HgSO₄ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and SO₄⁻²;

NaNO₃ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and NO₃⁻.

Thus, the spectator ions are Na⁺, SO₄⁻², Hg⁺², and NO₃⁻.

How are some mutations similar? Provide examples.
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Mutations can be caused by high-energy sources such as radiation or by chemicals in the environment. They can also appear spontaneously during the replication of DNA. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations. In point mutations, one base pair is changed. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations with small effects. Mutational effects can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral, depending on their context or location. Most non-neutral mutations are deleterious.

What pressure is exerted by 932.3 g of CH4 in a 0.560 L steel container at 136.2 K?
Roman55 [17]
Molar mass CH4 = 16.0 g/mol

* number of moles:

932.3 / 16 => 58.26875 moles

T = 136.2 K

V = 0.560 L

P = ?

R = 0.082

Use the clapeyron equation:

P x V = n x R x T

P x 0.560 =  58.26875 x 0.082 x 136.2

P x 0.560 = 650.76

P = 650.76 / 0.560

P = 1162.07 atm
