The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 17

75. In this experiment Lavoisier found that mercury(II) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas.
Required:
a. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, decomposition of solild mercurytl) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen.
b. Suppose 73.0 mL. of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 130.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of mercury() oxide that must have reacted.

Answer:

a. 2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)

b. 0.957 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)

Step 2: Convert 130.0 °C to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15

K = 130.0°C + 273.15

K = 403.2 K

Step 3: Calculate the moles of O₂

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V/R × T

n = 1 atm × 0.0730 L/0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 403.2 K

n = 2.21 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 4: Calculate the moles of HgO that produced 2.21 × 10⁻³ moles of O₂

The molar ratio of HgO to O₂ is 2:1. The moles of HgO required are 2/1 × 2.21 × 10⁻³ mol = 4.42 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 5: Calculate the mass corresponding to 4.42 × 10⁻³ moles of HgO

The molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol.

4.42 × 10⁻³ mol × 216.59 g/mol = 0.957 g

H2(g) + Co(g) _CH3OH<br> balance the equation <br>​
Tom [10]

Answer:

CO + 2H2 = CH3OH

Explanation:

1. Label Each Compound With a Variable

  aCO + bH2 = cCH3OH

2. Create a System of Equations, One Per Element

  C: 1a + 0b = 1c

  O: 1a + 0b = 1c

  H: 0a + 2b = 4c

3. Solve For All Variables (using substitution, gauss elimination, or a calculator)

  a = 1

  b = 2

  c = 1

4. Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

  CO + 2H2 = CH3OH

      L R

  C: 1 1 ✔️

  O: 1 1 ✔️

  H: 4 4 ✔️

Calculate the molarity of a solution that contains 3.00 grams Na2SO4 in 25 mL of solution.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

M Na2SO4 sln = 0.8448 M

Explanation:

  • molarity (M) [=] mol/L

∴ mass Na2SO4 = 3.00 g

∴ volume soln = 25 mL = 0.025 L

∴ molar mass Na2SO4 = 142.04 g/mol

⇒ mol Na2SO4 = (3.00 g)*(mol/142.04 g) = 0.02112 mol

⇒ M Na2SO4 sln = (0.02112 mol/0.025 L ) = 0.8448 M
