In one of his experiments, Lavoisier placed 10.0 grams of mercury (II) oxide into a sealed container and heated it. The mercury

(II) oxide then reacted in the presence of heat to produce 9.3 grams of mercury. Oxygen gas was another product in the reaction. According to the law of conservation of mass, how much oxygen gas would have been produced?

Oxygen gas produced : 0.7 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

10.0 grams HgO

9.3 grams Hg

Required

Oxygen gas produced

Solution

Reaction⇒Decomposition

2HgO(s)⇒2Hg(l)+O₂(g)

Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, where the masses before and after the reaction are the same

mass of reactants = mass of products

mass  HgO = mass Hg + mass O₂

10 g = 9.3 g + mass O₂

mass O₂ = 0.7 g

What is the pH of a 0.00530 M solution of HCI?
MrMuchimi

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

HCl(l) ===> H+ + cl-

HCl is a very strong acid. Almost all of it will decompose to the right. That means the concentration of H+ is 0.00530

pH = - log [H+]

pH = - log[0.00530]

pH = - - 2.2757

pH = 2.2757

Rounded this 2.28

What is the correct definition of energy?
scoray [572]

Answer:

The ability to do work

Explanation:

  • Energy refers to the ability to carry out work.
  • It is measured in Joules (J).
  • Energy may exist in different forms such as potential energy when a body is at rest, kinetic energy when the body is in motion, etc.
  • Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, however, it can be transformed from one form to another. For example, chemical energy may be transformed into mechanical energy or other forms of energy.

A 20.0 g piece of a metal is heated and place into a calorimeter containing 250.0 g of water initially at 25.0 oC. The final tem
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Q_{metal} = -6799\,J

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics, the piece of metal and water reaches thermal equilibrium when water receives heat from the piece of metal. Then:

Q_{metal} = - Q_{w}

Q_{metal} = m_{w} \cdot c_{p,w}\cdot (T_{1}-T_{2})

Q_{metal} = (250\,g)\cdot \left(4.184\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (25\,^{\textdegree}C - 31.5\,^{\textdegree}C)

Q_{metal} = -6799\,J
