Answer:
- <u>68.3g</u>
Explanation:
<u>1. Word equation:</u>
- <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>
<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>
- 2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)
<u>3. Mole ratio</u>
Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:
<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>
Use the equation for ideal gases:
<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>
<u>6. Convert to mass</u>
- mass = # moles × molar mass
- molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol
- mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g
1. Find its coordination figure/coordination number of central atom (CF)
Ev = Vallence electron of central atom
Σe = electrons donated from substituents
Terminal O gives 0 electrons, hence Σe = 3 x 0
charge = charge of the compound
2. Find EP (electron pairs) and LP (lone pairs)
LP = CF - EP
3. Draw the skeleton with octet substituents (top right figure)
4. Find formal charge for each atoms (Qf)
5. Write formal charge near atom in skeleton
6. Enjoy
