Explanation:
mass H2O2 = 55 mL(1.407 g/mL) = 80.85 g
molar mass H2O2 = 2(1.01 g/mol) + 2(16.00 g/mol) = 34.02 g/mol
moles H2O2 = 80.85 g/34.02 g/mol = 2.377 moles H2O2
For each mole of H2O2 you obtain 0.5 mole of O2 (see the equation).
moles O2 = 2.377 moles H2O2 (1 mole O2)/(2 moles H2O2) = 1.188 moles O2
Now, you need the temperature. If you are at STP (273 K, and 1.00 atm) then 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP has a volume of 22.4 L. Without temperature you are not really able to continue. I will assume you are at STP.
Volume O2 = 1.188 moles O2(22.4 L/mole) = 0.0530 L of O2.
which is 53 mL.
Zn⁰ ----> Zn⁺² + 2e⁻ - oxidation
Hg⁺² + 2e⁻ ----> Hg⁰ - reduction
Zn loses 2 moles of electrons , and Hg gains 2 mole of electrons.
So, number of moles of electrons gained and lost during reaction is equal.
That would be true, since most other stats include helium, calcium, etc
Right answer is B . Trust me .
