Mass of Mercury(Hg) : 55.8 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2HgO ⇒ O₂ + 2Hg

Required

Mass of Mercury

Solution

Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, where the masses before and after the reaction are the same

So mass of reactants = mass of products

Mass of reactants = mass HgO = 60 g

Mass of products = mass O₂ + mass Hg

60 g = 4.2 g + mass Hg

mass Hg = 60 - 4.2

mass Hg = 55.8 g

The ph of a solution containing 0.818 M acetic acid (ka1.76*10-5) ans 0.172 M sodium acetate is?

kvasek [131]

Explanation:

It is known that the relation between pH and $pK_{a}$ is as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}$

and, $pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

Hence, first we will calculate the value of $pK_{a}$ as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

= $-log (1.76 \times 10^{-5}$

= 4.75

Now, we will calculate the value of pH as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{[\text{sodium acetate}]}{\text{acetic acid}}$

= $4.75 + log \frac{0.172}{0.818}$

= 4.75 + (-0.677)

= 4.07

Therefore, we can conclude that the pH of given solution is 4.07.

Why does water flow decrease in your shower when someone flushes the toilet

Rashid [163]

Answer:

A toilet requires a large amount of cold water to flush. So, when the toilet flushes while you're in the shower, it's stealing from your shower's cold water supply. When the pressure-balancing valve senses the drop in cold water pressure, it responds by restricting the hot water pressure.
