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

Chemistry

Alecsey [184]3 years ago

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.

WHAT MASS OF WATER WILL BE PRODUCED FROM 2.70 MOLES OF CA(OH)2 REACTING WITH HCI
Keith_Richards [23]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water produced in the reaction is 97.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of calcium hydroxide = 2.70 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and HCl follows:

Ca(OH)_2+HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 2 moles of water

So, 2.70 moles of calcium hydroxide will produce = \frac{2}{1}\times 2.70=5.40mol of HCl

To calculate mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 5.40 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.40mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(5.40mol\times 18g/mol)=97.2g

Hence, the mass of water produced in the reaction is 97.2 grams

Write the complete thermochemical equation (including energy) for the combustion of hexane.
antoniya [11.8K]
2C₆H₁₄+19O₂⇒14H₂O+12CO₂+energy
You can tell that the energy is on the left side since the reactoin is highly exothermic meaning it releases heat which can also be thought of as energy.

I hope this helps

What happens at the cathode
kondaur [170]

Answer:

At the cathode in an electrolytic cell, ions in the surrounding solution are reduced into atoms, which precipitate or plate out on to the solid cathode. The anode is where oxidation takes place, and the cathode is where reduction takes place. The anode is defined as the electrode where oxidation occurs. The cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place. ... At the cathode, the metal ion in the solution will accept one or more electrons from the cathode, and the ion's oxidation state will reduce to 0. This forms a solid metal that deposits on the cathode.
