Answer:
A. 650 g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is given as;
2 HgO(s) --> 2Hg(s) + O2(l)
From the reaction;
2 mol of HgO produces 1 mol of O2
x mol of HgO would produce 1.50 mol of O2
2 = 1
x = 1.5
Solving for x;
x = 1.5 * 2 / 1 = 3 mol
Converting to mass;
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Mass = 3 mol * 216.59 g/mol
Mass = 649.77 g ≈ 650. g
Correct option is ;
A. 650 g
As discussed in Raymond Chang’s introductory textbook “Chemistry,” a mole is a measure of molecules, equal to approximately 6.022x10^23 molecules, where the caret ^ refers to exponentiation. Using the ideal gas formula, you can find the number of moles of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a container if you know the other needed parameters and conditions. Above 150 pounds per square inch (PSI), or around 10 times normal atmospheric pressure, the ideal gas formula starts losing accuracy and the Van der Waals formula becomes increasingly preferable.
5 moles because molarity signifies number of moles dissolved in One litre of water
