Answer:

half-life = 3.8 days

total time of decay = 15.2 days

initial amount = 100. g

number of half-lives past: 15.2/3.8 = 4 half-lives

4 half-lives = 1/16 remains

100. g x 1/16 = 6.25 g

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

<u>68.3g</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Word equation:</u>

<em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>

<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

<u>3. Mole ratio</u>

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

<u>6. Convert to mass</u>

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

What is the limiting reactant if 12 moles of p4 react with 15 moles of o2?.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

To determine limiting reactant divide mole quantities of reactants by the respective coefficient in the balanced equation. The smaller value is the limiting reactant.

P₄ + 5O₂ => 2P₂O₅

12/1 = 12 15/5 = 3

O₂ is the limiting reactant. P₄ will be in excess when rxn stops.
