The percentage composition of Hg in the given compound is $\boxed{71.5{\text{ \% }}}$ .

Further explanation:

The amount of substance that is present in any mixture is known as concentration. It is expressed in different forms, called as concentration terms. Most of the commonly used concentration terms are as follows:

1. Molality

2. Mole fraction

3. Molarity

4. Parts per million

5. Mass percent

6. Volume percent

7. Percentage composition

The given reaction occurs as follows:

${\text{Hg}} + {\text{B}}{{\text{r}}_2} \to {\text{HgB}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}$

The formula to calculate the percentage composition of Hg is as follows:

${\text{Percentage composition of Hg}} = \left( {\dfrac{{{\text{Mass of Hg}}}}{{{\text{Mass of HgB}}{{\text{r}}_2}}}} \right){\text{100 \% }}$ …… (1)

The formula to calculate the mass of ${\text{HgB}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}$ is as follows:

${\text{Mass of HgB}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}} = {\text{Mass of Hg}} + {\text{Mass of B}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}$ …… (2)

The mass of Hg is 60.2 g.

The mass of ${\text{B}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}$ is 24 g.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Mass of HgB}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}} &= 60.2{\text{ g}} + {\text{24 gAC}}\\&= {\text{84}}{\text{.2 g}}\\\end{aligned}$

The mass of Hg is 60.2 g.

The mass of ${\text{HgB}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}$ is 84.2 g.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Percentage composition of Hg}} &= \left( {\frac{{{\text{60}}{\text{.2 g}}}}{{{\text{84}}{\text{.2 g}}}}} \right){\text{100 \% }}\\&= {\text{71}}{\text{.49 \% }}\\&\approx {\text{71}}{\text{.5 \% }}\\\end{aligned}$

Therefore the percentage composition of Hg in the compound is 71.5 %.

Answer is: the percent composition of Hg in the compound is 71.5%.

Balanced chemical reaction: Hg + Br₂ → HgBr₂.

m(Hg) = 60.2 g; mass of the mercury.

m(Br₂) = 24.0; mass of the bromine.

m(HgBr₂) = m(Hg) + m(Br₂).

m(HgBr₂) = 60.2 g + 24 g.

m(HgBr₂) = 84.2 g; mass of the compound.

ω(Hg) = m(Hg) ÷ m(HgBr₂) · 100%.

ω(Hg) = 60.2 g ÷ 84.2 g · 100%.

ω(Hg) = 71.5%.

Can anyone teach me what is criss cross method in chemistry

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

In the criss-cross method, the numerical value of the ion charge of the two atoms are crossed over, which becomes the subscript of the other ion. Using this technique, we will write the chemical formula of the given compounds.

Criss cross the absolute values to give Al2O3. To find the formula for magnesium oxide:- The oxidation number of Mg is +2 and oxygen is -2. Criss cross the absolute values to give Mg2O2In this example there is a common factor of 2 so divide by 2 to give MgO.

Aluminum is manufactured using electrolysis. Carbon electrodes are used. Describe the nature of the electrolyte.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The traditional electrolyte for aluminium electrolysis is based on molten cryolite (Na3AlF6), acting as solvent for the raw material, alumina (Al2O3).Metals are found in ores combined with other elements. Electrolysis can be used to extract a more reactive metal from the ore.

Aluminum can and is used as both anodes and cathodes in electrochemical cells, but there are some peculiarities to using it as an anode in aqueous solutions. As you note, aluminum forms a passivating oxide layer quite readily, even by exposure to atmosphere. In an aqueous solution, if the potential is high enough, OH− and O2− are generated at the anode, which can then react with the aluminum to produce aluminum oxide. Al^3+ can also be generated directly. The electric field will draw the anions through the growing aluminum oxide layer towards the aluminum surface and the Al^3+ towards the solution, making the oxide layer grow both away from the electrode surface and into the surface of the electrode. In this way, coatings thicker than the normal passivation in air can be produced. However, aluminum oxide is a good electrical insulator, thus if a dense non-porous layer is grown, it will become impossible to pass current through it and growth will stop, leaving a relatively thin oxide layer (this is how the dielectric layers in electrolytic capacitors are made). This is the normal behaviour in aqueous solutions at near-neutral pH (5–7).

However, if a thick aluminum oxide layer is desired (e.g. to produce coatings on aluminum parts for dying or durability), maintaining porosity is necessary to avoid completely blocking access to the surface. One technique that is commonly used is using a low pH solution, which tends to redissolve some of the oxide and neutralize some of the formed OH−, leaving pores in the oxide layer through which the ions can travel and continue to react. These pores also give a good structure to retain dyes or lubricants, but generally need to be sealed after to protect against corrosion.

Acetylene is the substance burned in oxy-acetylene torches. Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that o

nexus9112 [7]

Answer: $2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.

All the hydrocarbons burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.Thus the complete balanced equation is:

$2C_2H_2+5O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+2H_2O$
