It's not, if it were it would be ice. The water is a bit warmer.

Because the electrons in a solid, in this case the ice, are only vibrating. And so when it heats up, the electrons vibrate more. Imagine a scale from 1 to 150, 1 to 50 is a solid, 50 to 100 is a liquid, and 100 to 150 is a gas. If the ice has just been melted, then the electrons are only just in the beginning stages of moving enough to be a liquid, and the movement of electrons determines the temperature because it creates energy. I hope this was the answer you were looking for, let me know if I confused you

7. How many moles of mercury(ii) oxide, hgo, are needed to produce 12. 5 g of oxygen, o2? 2 hgo(s) --->2 hg(l) o2(g)
svetoff [14.1K]

Moles are the division of the mass and the molar mass. The moles of mercury (ii) oxide in the decomposition reaction needed to produce oxygen are 0.781 moles.

<h3>What is a decomposition reaction?</h3>

A decomposition reaction is a breakdown of the reactant into simpler products. The decomposition of mercury (ii) oxide can be shown as:

2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂(g)

From the reaction, it can be said that 2 moles of mercury (ii) oxide decomposes to produce 1 mole of oxygen.

The moles of oxygen that needs to be produced are calculated as:

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

= 12.5 gm ÷ 32 gm/mol

= 0.39 moles

0.39 moles of oxygen are needed to be produced.

From the stoichiometric coefficient of the reaction, the moles of HgO is calculated as: 2 × 0.39 = 0.781 moles

Therefore, 0.781 moles of HgO are required in the reaction.
