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

What is the mass of 5.119 102 molecules of copper sulfate<br> (CuSO4)?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Mass = 135.66 ×10⁻²¹ g

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of CuSO₄= 5.119×10²

Mass of CuSO₄= ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

1 mole contain 6.022×10²³ molecules

5.119×10² molecules ×1 mol / 6.022×10²³ molecules

0.85×10⁻²¹ mol

Mass in grams:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.85×10⁻²¹ mol × 159.6 g/mol

Mass = 135.66 ×10⁻²¹ g

A sample of nitrogen occupies 10.0 liters at 25°C and 98.7 kPa. What would be the volume at 20°C and 102.7 kPa?
krek1111 [17]
To solve the problem, we assume the sample to be ideal. Then, we use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. From the first condition of the nitrogen gas sample, we calculate the number of moles.

n = PV / RT
n = (98.7x 10^3 Pa x 0.01 m^3) / (8.314 Pa m^3/ mol K) x 298.15 K
n = 0.40 mol N2

At the second condition, the number of moles stays the same however pressure and temperature was changed. So, the new volume is calculated as follows:

V = nRT / P
V = 0.40 x 8.314 x 293.15 / 102.7 x 10^3
V = 9.49 x 10^-3 m^3 or 9.49 L

How do you make a 3M solution of KBr? How many moles of KBr are 1 liter of a 0.3M solution?
pashok25 [27]
Molarity= moles/liter, so you would need 3mol KBr/1 liter
(0.3M)(1L)= 0.3mol KBr
