Answer: endothermic, 2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

Explanation:

Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

All decomposition reactions are endothermic as heat is absorbed by the reactants to break the bonds in the reactants.

Decomposition of HgO is given by:

2HgO\rightarrow 2Hg+O_2

How do you find the highest energy level?
joja [24]

Answer:

The larger the number of the energy level, the farther it is from the nucleus. Electrons that are in the highest energy level are called valence electrons. Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located.

Assuming that gasoline is 100% isooctane, that isooctane burns to produce only CO2CO2 and H2OH2O, and that the density of isooct
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

1.12×10¹¹ kg of CO₂ are produced with 4.6×10¹⁰ L of isooctane

Explanation:

Let's state the combustion reaction:

C₈H₁₈  +  25/2O₂  →   8CO₂  +  9H₂O

Let's calculate the mass of isooctane that reacts.

Density = Mass / Volume

Density . Volume = Mass

First of all, let's convert the volume in L to mL, so we can use density.

4.6×10¹⁰ L . 1000 mL / 1L = 4.6×10¹³ mL

0.792 g/mL . 4.6×10¹³ mL = 3.64 ×10¹³ g

This mass of isooctane reacts to produce CO₂ and water, so let's determine the moles of reaction

3.64 ×10¹³ g . 1mol / 114 g = 3.19×10¹¹ mol

Ratio is 1:8 so 1 mol of isooctane can produce 8 moles of dioxide

Therefore 3.19×10¹¹ mol would produce (3.19×10¹¹ mol . 8)  = 2.55×10¹² moles of CO₂

Now, we can determine the mass of produced CO₂ by multipling:

moles . molar mass

2.55×10¹² mol . 44 g/mol = 1.12×10¹⁴ g of CO₂

If we convert to kg  1.12×10¹⁴ g / 1000 =  1.12×10¹¹ kg
