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

Carbon has a neutral overall charge, an atomic mass of about 12 and an atomic number of 6. How many electrons does carbon have?
Artist 52 [7]
For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral

Described the role of electrons in the formation of a covalent bond​
My name is Ann [436]

Sharing of two electrons make a <u>Covalent </u>bond.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Attractions among the atoms bring them together. So the electrons from each of the atoms are attracted towards the nucleus of those two atoms, that “share” the electrons produces a covalent bond.

It is also named as molecular bond,  a bond that entails the sharing of a pair of electrons among the atoms. When the atoms share the electrons among themselves, it produces a molecule, which is more stable than the atom.

If the attractions between the atoms are strong enough and if every atom has enough space for the electrons in its outermost energy level then there occurs covalent bonding. So electrons are very important in the covalent bond formation.
