In order to get HgO you would need 2Hg+1O2=2HgO. Since oxygen is diatomic you need two when it stands alone causing you to need two mercuries to balance out the reactants and the product I hope this helps

The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. A 2.79 g sample of acetylsalicylic acid required 30.15 mL of 0.5137 M
vivado [14]

Answer:

Molar mass = 180 g/mol

Ka = 3.31x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

Because the acetylsalicylic is a monoprotic acid, it only leaves 1 mol of H⁺ in the reaction, so, it's necessary 1 mol of NaOH for each 1 mol of acetylsalicylic acid. The number of moles of NaOH is the volume, in L, multiplied by the concentration:

n = 0.03015*0.5137 = 0.01549

Which is also the number of moles of the acid. The molar mass is the mass, in g, divided by the number of moles:

M = 2.79/0.01549

M = 180 g/mol

After reacting with the base, the conjugate base of the acid will be formed, and the equilibrium between the acid form (HA) and the conjugate base (A⁻) is a buffer. It formed 0.01549 moles of A⁻, which will react with the moles of H⁺ from HCl to form HA.

nH⁺ = nHCl = 0.01741*0.448 = 0.0078 mol

A⁻           +       H⁺            ⇄   HA

0.01549     0.0078                 0        Initial

-0.0078     -0.0078         +0.0078   Reacts

0.0078            0                0.0078   Equilibrium

For a buffer, the pH can be calculated by the Handerson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

Because the volume is the same, we can use the number of moles instead of the concentration:

3.48 = pKa + log(0.0078/0.0078)

pKa = 3.48

pKa = -logKa

Ka = 10^{-pKa}

Ka = 10^{-3.48}

Ka = 3.31x10⁻⁴

Does corrosion occur when iron nail is in salt water
yarga [219]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

: The corrosion of iron indicates a chemical change in the metal. ... Where salt is present, electrochemical corrosion occurs, and the protective oxide film does not form, thus the corrosion (buildup of rust) continues unchecked. Your iron nail will indeed rust more quickly and severely in salt water.

A student used 1.168g of an unknown weak acid and titrated it against 28.75 mL of 0.105M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. Wh
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 386.8 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the weak acid = 1.168 grams

volume of NaOH = 28.75 mL = 0.02875 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.105 M

Since we only know 1 equivalence point, we suppose the acid is monoprotic

Step 2: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = molarity NaOH * volume NaOH

Moles NaOH = 0.105 M * 0.02875 L

Moles NaOH = 0.00302 moles

We need 0.00302 moles of weak acid to neutralize the NaOH

Step 3: Calculate molar mass of weak acid

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 1.168 grams / 0.00302 moles

Molar mass = 386.8 g/mol

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 386.8 g/mol
