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

1 answer:

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.

Answer:

30.8 g of water are produced

Explanation:

First of all we need the equation for the production of water:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

2 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of oxygen in order to produce 2 moles of water.

As we assume, the oxygen in excess, we determine the moles of H₂.

1.03ₓ10²⁴ molecules . 1 mol/ 6.02ₓ10²³ molecules = 1.71 moles

Ratio is 2:2, so 1.71 moles will produce 1.71 moles of water

Let's convert the moles to mass: 1.71 mol . 18g / 1mol = 30.8 g of water are produced

Your lab partner named this compound 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane, but that is not correct.

loris [4]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane

<u>Explanation:</u>

The IUPAC nomenclature of alkanes are given as follows:

Select the longest possible carbon chain.
For the number of carbon atom, we add prefix as 'meth' for 1, 'eth' for 2, 'prop' for 3, 'but' for 4, 'pent' for 5, 'hex' for 6, 'sept' for 7, 'oct' for 8, 'nona' for 9 and 'deca' for 10.
A suffix '-ane' is added at the end of the name.
If two of more similar alkyl groups are present, then the words 'di', 'tri' 'tetra' and so on are used to specify the number of times these alkyl groups appear in the chain.

We are given:

An alkane having chemical name as 3-methyl-4-n-propylhexane. This will not be the correct name of the alkane because the longest possible carbon chain has 7 Carbon atoms, not 6 carbon atoms

The image of the given alkane is shown in the image below.

Hence, the correct IUPAC name of the alkane is 4-ethyl-3-methylheptane
