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

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

Define Saturated Solution. What happens as a saturates solution cools?
solong [7]

Saturated solution is a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. When saturated solution cools, the solution began precipitate from the solution, because under lower temperature, usually, less amount solute can be dissolved in the solvent.

Explain the volume of ideal gasses as related to the molar concept.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

n = Initial volume/22.4L

Explanation:

The molar concept is simply one that is used to find the Number of moles and explain the relationship it has with avogadro's number, molecular mass, molar mass e.t.c.

Now, in terms of molar mass, number of moles is given by the formula;

n = mass of the sample/molar mass

In terms of avogadro's number, number of moles is;

1 mole = avogadro's number = 6.02 × 10^(23)

Now, when dealing with ideal gases, the molar volume of an ideal gas is 22.4 L.

Now the relationship between this volume and the mole concept is that the number of moles is gotten by dividing the initial volume by this molar volume.

Thus;

n = Initial volume/22.4L
