1. Mercury is most often obtained by roasting cinnabar (HgS). How many grams of cinnabar
1 answer:
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= 191.4 grams
<em><u>191.4 grams of cinnabar are required to obtain 165 grams of mercury.</u></em>

Answer:
B. They bond identical atoms together
Explanation:
Metallic Bond: This is the bond that exists among the atoms of the metal. This is a type of electrostatic attraction between conduction electrons of metallic atom and their positively charged metal ions.
<em>(figure attached)</em>
Example:
Copper is a metallic element and its atoms consist of metallic bond among their selves.
Options A, B, D are not correct as all states for a kind of ionic bond formation.
Ionic bond:
It form by the complete transfer of electron from one atom to other
It is formed among two atoms of different electronegativities.
Also metals are electro-positive and non -metals are electro-negative so they form ionic bond.
Example is NaCl where sodium is a metal and Chloride is non-metal and they from ionic bond.
