Answer:
camphor sublimates salt is soluble in water while sand does not sublime and does not dissolve in water you first heat the mixture in a beaker covered with a watch glass camphor will then accumulate on the watch glass then you dissolve the remaining mixture of sand and salt salt will dissolve forming a salt solution then you filter using a filter paper and a beaker the residue on the filter paper is sand while the filtrate is salt solution you then heat the salt solution so that it can evaporate leaving salt particles thus you will have obtained salt sand and camphor
The reaction between mercury (Hg) and sulfur (S) to form HgS is:
Hg + S ------------- HgS
Therefore: 1 mole of Hg reacts with 1 mole of S to form 1 mole of HgS
The given mass of Hg = 246 g
Atomic mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
# moles of Hg = 246 g/ 200.59 gmol-1 = 1.226 moles
Based on the reaction stoichiometry,
# moles of S that would react = 1.226 moles
Atomic mass of S = 32 g/mol
Therefore, mass of S = 1.226 moles*32 g/mole = 39.23 g
39.2 g of sulfur would be needed to react completely with 246 g of Hg to produce HgS
Explanation:
impurities affect both melting point and boiling point
in the case of melting point it lowers the melting point
so I guess one of the samples Ie contained impurities
