A reaction in which Oxygen (O₂) is produced from Mercury Oxide (HgO) would be a decomposition reaction.
           2HgO    →    2Hg    +    O₂

If 250g of O₂ is needed to be produced,
then the moles of oxygen needed to be produced = 250g  ÷  32 g/mol
                                                                                     = 7.8125 mol

Now, the mole ratio of Oxygen to Mercury Oxide is  1  :  2
∴ if the moles of oxygen =  7.8125 mol
then the moles of mercury oxide = 7.8125 mol × 2
                                                        = 15.625 mol


Thus the number moles of HgO needed to produce 250.0 g of O₂ is 15.625 mol

Determine the mass in grams of 3.75 x 10^21 atoms of zinc. (the mass of one mole of zinc is 65.39 g)
Nastasia [14]

Answer: The mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

Explanation:

Given: Atoms of zinc = 3.75 \times 10^{21}

It is known that 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. So, the number of moles in given number of atoms is as follows.

Moles = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 0.622 \times 10^{-2}\\= 0.0062 mol

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of zinc (molar mass = 65.39 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0062 mol = \frac{mass}{65.39 g}\\mass = 0.405 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.
