15g divided by 15ML plllssss what is it!! Need to know

Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below. 2HgO Rig

BigorU [14]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, the correct answer is the third option: 15.63 moles of HgO are needed to produce 250 g of O₂.

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

2 HgO → 2 Hg + O₂

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

HgO: 2 moles
Hg: 2 moles
O₂: 1 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

HgO: 216.59 g/mole
Hg: 200.59 g/mole
O₂: 32 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

HgO: 2 moles× 216.59 g/mole= 433.18 grams
Hg: 2 moles× 200.59 g/mole= 401.18 grams
O₂: 1 mole× 32 g/mole= 32 grams

Then the following rule of three can be applied: if by reaction stoichiometry 32 grams of O₂ are produced by 2 moles of HgO, 250 grams of O₂ are produced from how many moles of HgO?

$moles of HgO=\frac{250 grams of O_{2} x2 moles of HgO}{32grams of O_{2}}$

moles of HgO= 15.625 moles≅ 15.63 moles

Finally, the correct answer is the third option: 15.63 moles of HgO are needed to produce 250 g of O₂.

Which represents the correct electron distribution of a transition element in the ground state?

Phoenix [80]

I believe both C) and D) are correct, because both have enough electrons to show that the element has enough protons to be a transition metal, and both elements seem to have an electron configuration that exists in the ground state. We may need more information.

1. Why do scientists use a standard measurement system?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.Scientists use a shared system for reporting measurements called the International System of Units (SI). We use common measurement systems because science involves a lot of replication to confirm results. The most common system used in science is the metric system.
