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

7.66 Write balanced equations for the following reactions: (a) potassium oxide with water, (b) diphosphorus trioxide with water,

White raven [17]

Explanation:

(a) potassium oxide with water

$K_2O(s)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2KOH(aq)$

According to reaction,1 mole of potassium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water to give 1 mole of potassium hydroxide.

(b) diphosphorus trioxide with water

$P_2O_3(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_3(aq)$

According to reaction,1 mole of diphosphorus trioxide reacts with 2 moles of water to give 2 moles of phosphorus acid.

(c) chromium(III) oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid,

$Cr_2O_3(s)+6HCl(aq)\rightarrow 2CrCl_3(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

According to reaction,1 mole of chromium(III) oxide reacts with 6 moles of hydrochloric acid to give 2 moles of chromium(III) chloride and 3 moles of water.

(d) selenium dioxide with aqueous potassium hydroxide

$SeO_2 (s)+2KOH (aq)\rightarrow K_2SeO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

According to reaction,1 mole of selenium dioxide reacts with 2 moles of potassium hydroxide to give 1 mole of potassium selenite and 1 mole of water.

Neko [114]

Answer:

C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2

Explanation:

Based on combined gas law, gases under the same pressure, temperature and volume have the same number of moles. With this information we can say the rigth statement is:

<h3>C. The balloon with CH4 has the same moles of gas molecules as the balloon with H2</h3>
