HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

Which of the solutions have greatest osmotic pressure 30% sucrose 60% sucrose or 30% magnesium sulfate?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:Osmotic pressure is the minimum amount of pressure a solution must exert in order to prevent from crossing a barrier by osmosis. Solute molecules have difficulty crossing semipermeable membranes, so the more solutes that are in a solution, the higher the osmotic pressure will be. Between 30% sucrose and 60% sucrose, 60% sucrose will have a greater osmotic pressure than 30% because it has a higher percentage of solutes. However, since sucrose has a higher potential to cross semipermeable membranes and is more absorbable than magnesium sulfate, magnesium sulfate would have a higher osmotic pressure than 60% sucrose even though 60% sucrose has higher molecules.

C(s) + S8(s) → CS2(l)
Vanyuwa [196]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>4C(s) + S8(s) → 4CS2(l)

We are given the amount of carbon and sulfur to be used in the reaction. We need to determine first the limiting reactant to be able to solve this correctly.

</span>7.70 g C ( 1 mol / 12.01 g) =0.64 mol C
19.7 g S8 ( 1 mol / 256.48 g) = 0.08 mol S8

The limiting reactant would be S8. We use this amount to calculate.

0.08 mol S8 ( 4 mol CS2 / 1 mol S8 ) ( 256.48 g / 1 mol ) = 78.8 g CS2
