How many grams of mercury can be produced if 18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes?

Chemistry

NARA [144]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes to produce 9.0 grams of mercury

Explanation:

Mercury oxide has molar mass of 216.6 g/ mol. It gas a molecular formula of HgO.

The decomposition of mercury oxide is given by the chemical equation below:

2HgO ----> 2Hg + O₂

2 moles of HgO decomposes to produce 1 mole of Hg

2 moles of HgO has a mass of 433.2 g

433.2 g of HgO produces 216.6 g of Hg

18.0 of HgO will produce 18 × 216.6/433.2 g of Hg = 9.0 g of Hg

Therefore, 18.0 g of mercury (11) oxide decomposes to produce 9.0 grams of mercury

The reaction between zinc (Zn) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) produces zinc chloride (ZnCl), hydrogen (H2) gas, and heat. If more h
andrew-mc [135]

 If more   heat  is removed from the reaction the rate of reaction change as below to counter the action

The rate of the  <em>forward reaction increase</em> and produces more   <em>zinc chloride</em>


<u><em>      explanation</em></u>

  • <u><em> </em></u>The reaction of  zinc and HCl  to produce ZnCl and H2 <u><em>is </em></u> exothermic reaction,  heat  is produced as one product   and by  removing  heat  it favor   forward reaction
  • The position  of equilibrium  moves to the right since  removing  heat led to decrease of temperature  and more  zinc chloride   is produced.

One of the earliest atomic models was suggested by John Dalton in the early 1800s.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

D. Atoms are like solid balls

Explanation:

John Dalton proposed that all matter is composed of very small things which he called atoms. This was not a completely new concept as the ancient Greeks (notably Democritus) had proposed that all matter is composed of small, indivisible (cannot be divided) objects. When Dalton proposed his model electrons and the nucleus were unknown.
