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

An organic compound is composed of 38.7% C, 9.70% H, 51.6% O. The compound has a molecular formula mass of 62.0g/mol.
Tcecarenko [31]

<span>B)<span>C2H6O<span>2
</span></span></span>
First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g. 
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.
