Answer:

Clarity and precision - these names are unique with each creature having only one scientific name. Helps avoid confusion created by common names. 3. Universal recognition - scientific names are standardised and accepted universally

There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with
grandymaker [24]

\text{Hg} \text{O} and \text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,

  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure})
  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss})

First compound:

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.6498 - 0.6018 = 0.048 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.6018 \; g

n = m/M; 0.6498 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.048 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.6018 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.003 \; mol

Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a 1:1 ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be \text{Hg} \text{O} where the subscript "1" is omitted.

Similarly, for the second compound

  • m(\text{O}) = m(\text{loss}) = 0.016 \; g
  • m(\text{Hg}) = m(\text{residure}) = 0.4172 - 0.016 = 0.4012  \; g

n = m/M; 0.4172 \; g of the first compound would contain

  • n(\text{O atoms}) = 0.016 \; g  / 16 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.001 \; mol
  • n(\text{Hg atoms}) = 0.4012 \; g  / 200.58 \; g \cdot mol^{-1}= 0.002 \; mol

n(\text{Hg}) : n(\text{O}) \approx  2:1 and therefore the empirical formula

\text{Hg}_{2} \text{O}.

Write Balance chemical reaction for preparation of chlorine with or without application heat<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)

Explanation:

Chlorine is a diatomic halogen gas known for its greenish-yellow colour. It has a pungent smell and is only moderately soluble in water.

It is a very reactive gas and is never found in free state in nature.

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by oxidation of hydrochloric acid using KMnO4 as follows;

2KMnO4(aq) + 16HCl(aq) ------> 2MnCl2(aq) + 2KCl(aq) + 8H2O(l) + 5Cl2(g)

The set up does not need to be heated.

A certain system absorbs 350 joules of heat and has 230 joules of work done on it what is the value of
marysya [2.9K]
According to the law of conservation of mass, the amount of BARIUM present of the reactants is the same as the amount present in the products (the precipitate). 

(11.21 g BaSO4) / (233.4 g/mol BaSO4) = 0.0480 mol BaSO4 and original barium salt 

(10.0 g) / (0.0480 mol) = 208.3 g/mol 

So it must have been BaCl2, because the molar mass of Barium is 137 which leave 71 grams left. Since Barium is a +2 charge, it means the atom next to it must be twice. Chlorine mass is 35, which twice is 71
