When a 14.2-g sample of mercury (II) oxide is decomposed into its elements by heating, 13.2 g Hg is obtained. What is the percen
nevsk [136]
Mercury (ii) oxide is made up of mercury and oxygen. The total mass of mercury (ii) oxide is 14.2 g, after decomposition 13.2 g of mercury were formed, therefore the mass of oxygen 1 g (14.2 g -13.2 g).
Percentage of oxygen = (1/14.2)×100 = 7.04%
Percentage of mercury = (13.2/14.2) × 100 = 92.96%
Therefore, percentage composition of the compound, oxygen is 7.04% and mercury is 92.96%.

What is created when an acid is mixed with a base?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

If you mix equal amounts of a strong acid and a strong base, the two chemicals essentially cancel each other out and produce a salt and water. Mixing equal amounts of a strong acid with a strong base also produces a neutral pH (pH = 7) solution.
