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.

List the bonding pairs H and I; S and O; K and Br; Si and Cl, H and F; Se and S; C and H in order of increasing covalent charact
stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. (S,O) < (Se,S) < (C,H) = (H,I) = (H,F) < (Si,Cl) < (K,Br)

Explanation:

The covalent character always increases down the group, this is because ionic character decreases down the group and also electronegativity.

In the same way, Covalent character always decreases across a period because electronegativity increases across a period.

The higher the electronegativity values between the two atoms, the more ionic it will be.

) Calculate the number of moles of sulfuric acid that is contained in 250 mL of 0.500 M sulfuric acid solution
maksim [4K]

Explanation:

According to the analysis, Molarity is amount mole per volume(1L). the amount in mole would be molarity × volume in litres.

0.500M × (250/1000)L= 0.125moles.

I hope this helps**

In a 51.0-g aqueous solution of methanol ch4o the mole fraction of methanol is 0.270. what is the mass of each component?
gladu [14]
Mole fraction<span> is another way of expressing the concentration of a solution or mixture. It is equal to the </span>moles<span> of one component divided by the total </span><span>moles.

mass CH4O = 0.270 (51) = 13.77 g methanol

water = 51 - 13.77 = 37.23 g water

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
