Answer:

  • <u>68.3g</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Word equation:</u>

  • <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>

<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>

  • 2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

<u>3. Mole ratio</u>

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

       2molHgO/1molO_2

<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>

Use the equation for ideal gases:

          pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol

<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>

         \dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO

<u>6. Convert to mass</u>

  • mass = # moles × molar mass

  • molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

  • mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

If there is a 2 kg ball with the same kinetic energy which one will be moving faster
Andrew [12]

Answer:

If you double the mass of an object, you double the kinetic energy. If you double the speed of an object, the kinetic energy increases by four times. The word "kinetic" comes from the Greek word "kinesis" which means motion. Kinetic energy can be passed from one object to another in the form of a collision.

What is the maximum concentration of Ag⁺ that can be added to a 0.00750 M solution of Na₂CO₃ before a precipitate will form? (Ks
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{1.64\times 10^{-5}\text{ mol/L }}

Explanation:

Ag₂CO₃(s) ⇌2Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq); Ksp = 8.10 × 10⁻¹²

                           2x      0.007 50 + x

K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$]$^{2}$[CO$_{3}^{2-}$]} = (2x)^{2}\times 0.00750 = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\0.0300x^{2} = 8.10 \times 10^{-12}\\x^{2} = 2.70 \times 10^{-10}\\x = \sqrt{2.70 \times 10^{-10}} = \mathbf{1.64\times 10^{5}} \textbf{ mol/L}\\\text{The maximum concentration of Ag$^{+}$ is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.64\times 10^{-5}}\textbf{ mol/L }}$}
