Comets are balls of ice and dust in orbit around the Sun. The orbits of comets are different from those of planets - they are elliptical. A comet's orbit takes it very close to the Sun and then far away again.
The majority of an atoms' mass comes from the protons and neutrons that make up its nucleus.
Answer:
Single replacement is a reaction in which one element reacts with another compund to form another compound and another element.
planation:
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
In order to find the percent yield of a reaction, we need to use the theoretical yield and actual yield into a formula, which is the following:
%yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield)*100
Adding the values from the question in the formula:
%yield = (4.5/10.7)*100
%yield = 42
The percent yield for this reaction will be 42%
