Answer:
Explanation:
A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.
The balanced reaction between aqueous calcium chloride reacts with aqueous potassium carbonate is shown as:
20.06 g of Hg and 1.6 g of O₂
<u>Explanation:</u>
To Find:
Number of Mercury and oxygen that can be obtained from 21.7 g of HgO
First we have to write the balanced equation for the decomposition reaction of Mercury(II) oxide as,
2 HgO (s) → 2Hg(l) + O₂ (g)
21.7 g of HgO =
= 0.1 mol of HgO.
As per the above equation, we can find the mole ratio between HgO and Hg is 1: 1 and that of HgO and oxygen is 2:1 .
So amount of Hg produced = 0.1 mol × 200.59 g / mol ( molar mass of Hg)
= 20.06 g of Hg
Amount of oxygen produced = 0.05 mol × 32 g/ mol = 1.6 g of O₂
Thus it is clear that 20.06 g of Hg and 1.6 g of O₂ is obtained from 21.7 g of HgO
