Sodium chloride is a nonreactive solid at room temperature, and is commonly known as table salt. The two elements that make up sodium chloride are sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a very reactive metal that tastes bad. Pure sodium is explosive when it comes in contact with water. Hope this helps

Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below.
zavuch27 [327]

15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.

<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>grams of O_2 to moles of O_2</em>

Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2

<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert <em>moles of O_2 to moles of HgO </em>

Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = <em>15.63 mol HgO</em>

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.158 kg. If 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32.0°C to 6
Alexxandr [17]
Specific heat capacity is the required amount of heat per unit of mass in order to raise teh temperature by one degree Celsius. It can be calculated from this equation: H = mCΔT where the H is heat required, m is mass of the substance, ΔT is the change in temperature, and C is the specific heat capacity.

H = m<span>CΔT
2501.0 = 0.158 (C) (61.0 - 32.0)

C = 545.8 J/kg</span>·°C

If the half life of iridium-182 is 15 years, how much of a 3 gram sample is left after 2 half-lives?
padilas [110]

Answer:

D. 0.75 grams

Explanation:

The data given on the iridium 182 are;

The half life of the iridium 182, t_{(1/2)} = 15 years

The mass of the sample of iridium, N₀ = 3 grams

The amount left, N(t) after two half lives is given as follows;

N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}} }

For two half lives, t = 2 × t_{(1/2)}

∴ t = 2 × 15 = 30

\dfrac{t}{t_{(1/2)}} = \dfrac{30}{15} = 2

\therefore N(t) = 3 \times\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2 = 0.75

∴ The amount left, N(t) = 0.75 grams

A common fuel additive that is composed of C, H, and O enhanced the performance of gasoline began being phased out in 1999 becau
spayn [35]

Answer:

C₅ H₁₂ O

Explanation:

44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .

18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen

14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of  H .

total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O

gram of O = 2.22

moles of C, O, H in the given compound =  8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1

= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644

ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84

rounding off to digits

ratio = 5 : 1 : 12

empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O

Problem 4
Hunter-Best [27]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.93 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

The chemical equation;

2C₂H₆(g) + 7O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) ΔH = -3120 kJ​

We are required to calculate the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat.

  • From the equation given;
  • 2 moles of ethane burns to produce 3120 Kilo joules of heat
  • Therefore;

Number of moles that will produce 100 kJ will be;

= (2 × 100 kJ) ÷ 3120 kJ)

= 0.0641 moles

  • But, molar mass of ethane is 30.07 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of ethane = 0.0641 moles × 30.07 g/mol

                          = 1.927 g

                          = 1.93 g

Thus, the mass of ethane that would produce 100 kJ of heat is 1.93 g
