If 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

<h3>What is decomposition reaction?</h3>

Decomposition reactions occur when complex chemical entities split apart into smaller components. Decomposition reactions often demand energy input.

There are three different kinds of breakdown reactions: thermal, photolytic, and electrolytic.

Mass_{reactant = Mass_{product}

Mass_{mercury oxide = Mass_{mercury} + mass_{oxygen}

28g =        mass_{mercury} + 2g

   mass_{mercury} = 26g

Thus, 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

percentage mass_{mercury} = \frac{mass_{mercury}}{mass_{mercury}oxide}  X 100%

= 26g/28g

= 93%

thus  93% is the percent by mass of Hg present in HgO.

Differences between alkalis, bases and acids? (answer for many points :) )
Rudik [331]

Explanation:

protons.

An acid can also be thought of as a chemical that can neutralize a base. Similarly, a base can neutralize an acid.

Acids turn litmus paper red, while bases make litmus paper turn blue.

Some examples of acids are sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and so on. Some examples of bases are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and so on.

Acids generally taste sour, while bases have a bitter taste.

Alkalis are the bases that are water-soluble, which means that they dissolve in water. In other words, not all bases are water-soluble, and only the water-soluble bases are known as alkalis. An example of an alkali is sodium hydroxide. It is a base because it can neutralize an acid, and because it is water-soluble, it is an alkali. An example of a base that is not alkali is copper oxide. This chemical can neutralize an acid, but it is insoluble in water.

In other words, all alkali are bases but not all bases are alkalis.

Also, an alkali has a hydroxide group, while a base has an oxide group in it.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is -470.4 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

Step 1 : Calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide

CaC_2(s)+2H_2O(g)\rightarrow

             C_2H_2(g)+Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_1=-414 kJ..[1]

Step 2 : Acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid

6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCOOH(g),\Delta H_2=132 kJ..[2]

Using Hess's law:

[1] × 6 + [2]

6CaC_2(s)+16H_2O(g)+3CO_2\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCOOH(g)+6Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_3=?

\Delta H_3=6\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2

\Delta H_3=6\times (-414 kJ)+132 kJ=-2352 kJ

The energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = -2352 kJ

The energy released on formation of 1 moles of acrylic acid :

=\frac{-2352 kJ}{5 mol}=-470.4 kJ/mol

Hence, the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is -470.4 kJ/mol.
