What is the coefficient for the oxygen molecule in the chemical equation below? 2hgo → 2hg + ? o2?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]3 years ago
7 0
This question is purely balancing the chemical equation where the number of atoms in reactants is equal to the number of atoms in products.
For the mentioned equation:
In the reactants, we have 2 atoms of Hg and 2 atoms of oxygen.
In the products, we should have 2 atoms of Hg and 2 atoms of oxygen.
Since the oxygen molecule is composed of 2 oxygen atoms, therefore the coefficient should be equal to 1 for the equation to be balanced.

Calculate the oxidation number of the iodine (I) in each compound: HIO4 = I2 = NaI = HIO3 =
Makovka662 [10]
1) in periodic acid (HIO₄), iodine has oxidation number +7, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 4 · (-2) = 0.
x = +7.

2) in molecule of iodine (I₂), iodine has oxidation number 0, because iodine is nonpolar molecule.

3) in sodium iodide (NaI), iodine has oxidation number -1, sodium has oxidation number +1:
+1 + x = 0.
x = -1.

4) in iodic acid (HIO₃), iodine has oxidation number +5, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 3 · (-2) = 0.
x = +5.

Why is a thermocouple a good device for indicating the temperature<br><br> in a car engine?
Anna35 [415]

A thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature. Thermocouples are made with two wires of different metals, joined together at one end to form a junction. ... Naturally, a thermocouple outputs a millivolt signal, therefore, as the resistance changes, the change in voltage can be measured.

What is the luster of aluminum
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Luster of aluminum is Silver-White.

Explanation:

Aluminium is a Silver-White metal which is extracted from the Bauxite ore which can be reddish brown, white, tan, grey-white and tan-yellow in color and have the minerals like Gibbsite, Boehmite and Diaspore which are the minerals of the aluminium.

The Bauxite is the rock from which the Bauxite ore is extracted which have the minerals of the aluminum.

The luster of a metal is the color and shine of it and its shiny appearance.

Aluminium is a light weight metal but have a moderate hardness which makes a wider use of it. Aluminium is used in many places where the weight of the material is kept light but its hardness can be increased by mixing some other metals in it making hard alloy with lighter weight.

It is used in transportation vehicles, buildings, and many other places like Air crafts as the weight should be kept controlled to give a perfect lift to the Air craft.
