Answer:

Option D. 7.56 g of Hg.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

4HgS + 4CaO —> 4Hg + 3CaS + CaSO₄

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaO that reacted and the mass of Hg produced from the balanced equation. This is can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaO = 40 + 16

= 56 g/mol

Mass of CaO from the balanced equation = 4 × 56 = 224 g

Molar mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol

Mass of Hg from the balanced equation = 4 × 200.59 = 802.36 g

SUMMARY

From the balanced equation above,

224 g of CaO reacted to produce 802.36 g of Hg.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Hg produced by the reaction of 2.11 g of CaO. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

224 g of CaO reacted to produce 802.36 g of Hg.

Therefore, 2.11 g of CaO will react to produce = (2.11 × 802.36)/224 = 7.56 g of Hg.

Thus, 7.56 g of Hg were obtained from the reaction.

At 700 K, the reaction 2SO2(g) + O2(g) <====> 2SO3(g) has the equilibrium constant Kc = 4.3 x 106. At a certain instant, f

Answer:

The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.

Explanation:

The reaction quotient Qc is defined for a generic reaction:

aA + bB → cC + dD

Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are not those of equilibrium, but other given concentrations

Chemical Equilibrium is the state in which the direct and indirect reaction have the same speed and is represented by a constant Kc, which for a generic reaction as shown above, is defined:

Kc=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b}  }

where the concentrations are those of equilibrium.

This constant is equal to the multiplication of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the multiplication of the concentrations of the reactants also raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Comparing Qc with Kc allows to find out the status and evolution of the system:

  • If the reaction quotient is equal to the equilibrium constant, Qc = Kc, the system has reached chemical equilibrium.
  • If the reaction quotient is greater than the equilibrium constant, Qc> Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. In this case the direct reaction predominates and there will be more product present than what is obtained at equilibrium. Therefore, this product is used to promote the reverse reaction and reach equilibrium. The system will then evolve to the left to increase the reagent concentration.
  • If the reaction quotient is less than the equilibrium constant, Qc <Kc, the system is not in equilibrium. The concentration of the reagents is higher than it would be at equilibrium, so the direct reaction predominates. Thus, the system will evolve to the right to increase the concentration of products.

In this case:

Q=\frac{[So_{3}] ^{2} }{[SO_{2} ]^{2}* [O_{2}] }

Q=\frac{10^{2} }{0.10^{2} *0.10}

Q=100,000

100,000 < 4,300,000 (4.3*10⁶)

Q < Kc

<u><em> The system is not in equilibrium and will evolve left to right to reach equilibrium.</em></u>

True or false? The molar mass of a gas determines the amount of kinetic energy of the gas.
HACTEHA [7]
The answer is false..............<span>kinetic theory of gases is a topic that can explain many everyday observations. Have you ever wondered why water boils faster at higher altitudes? Or why inflatable pool toys seem flat after sitting in a cold garage? How about why you can smell a candle all throughout the house? All of these phenomena and many more can be explained by the kinetic theory of gases.</span>
