1. Mercury is most often obtained by roasting cinnabar (HgS). How many grams of cinnabar

Chemistry
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

191.4 grams of cinnabar  are required to obtain 165 grams of mercury.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

HgS + O₂ ⇒ Hg + SO₂

By reaction stoichiometry, the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • HgS: 1 mole
  • O₂: 1 mole
  • Hg: 1 mole
  • SO₂: 1 mole

Being the molar mass of each compound:

  • HgS: 232g/mole
  • O₂: 32 g/mole
  • Hg: 200 g/mole
  • SO₂: 64 g/mole

the following mass amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • HgS: 1 mole* 232 g/mole= 232 g
  • O₂: 1 mole* 32 g/mole= 32 g
  • Hg: 1 mole* 200 g/mole= 200 g
  • SO₂: 1 mole* 64 g/mole= 64 g

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 200 grams of Hg are formed from 232 grams of HgS , 165 grams of Hg are formed from how many grams of HgS?

mass of HgS=\frac{165 grams of Hg*232 grams of HgS}{200 grams of Hg }

mass of HgS= 191.4 grams

<em><u>191.4 grams of cinnabar  are required to obtain 165 grams of mercury.</u></em>

If the volume occupied by the gas molecules shown below were doubled, what would happen to the pressure they exert? (Assume cons
AnnZ [28]

there's no picture here but I guess the answer would be:

considering the constant temperature, if you double the volume, the pressure would be halved.

like: volume is 2, pressure is 4

if 2×2, then:4÷2

Would anyone help <br> !!!!!
balu736 [363]

Answer

Explanation:

Protons would be the first answer since protons have a + charge. Neutrons would be second sicne neutrons have a neutral or 0 charge. Electrons would be the last since electrons have a - charge.

Look at the diagram of an electrolytic cell below.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

<em>The cathode is Y</em>

<h3><em>Further explanation</em></h3>

Electrolysis uses electrical energy to carry out redox reactions that are not spontaneous.

The ions in the solution flowing electrically will move towards to opposite charge of the electrode

The electrolysis material is an electrolyte which can be a solution or a melt.

In positive pole electrolysis cells - the anode is the site of the oxidation reaction, while the negative pole - the cathode is the reduction reaction site.

The result of the reaction in the anode is based on a substance that easily oxidized while the reaction in the cathode is based on a substance that easily reduced.

Electrons (electricity) enter an electrolysis cell through the negative pole (cathode)

The negative ion from the solution will move towards the positive electrode and release the electrons around the positive electrode (oxidation) and the electrons flow to the negative pole

Whereas around the negative electrode, there is electron binding and a reduction reaction occurs

So if we see the picture the cathode is Y

What would barium do to obtain a noble gas structure? gain 2 electrons lose 2 electrons gain 6 electrons lose 6 electrons
Tema [17]

Answer:

Lose two electrons.

Explanation:

Barium is present in group 2.

It is alkaline earth metal.

Its atomic number is 56.

Its electronic configuration is Ba₅₆ = [Xe] 6s².

In order to attain the noble gas electronic configuration it must loses its two valance electrons.

When barium loses it two electron its electronic configuration will equal to the Xenon.

The atomic number of xenon is 54 so barium must loses two electrons to becomes equal to the xenon.
