Answer:

The metal molecules inside start to vibrate faster, causing the solid to change to liquid if exposed to the intense temperature over a long period of time.

Explanation:

As my answer states, but for an explanation, lets say you are boiling an ice cube, it will start to turn into liquid water, that is because it has been exposed to that heat for a long period of time. The same will happen for the metal, if its exposed for long enough, it will turn into a liquid, then can be turned into a gas because the molecules are vibrating so quickly that they start to easily move apart.

Hope this helps, let me know if any more clarification is needed.

If 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

<h3>What is decomposition reaction?</h3>

Decomposition reactions occur when complex chemical entities split apart into smaller components. Decomposition reactions often demand energy input.

There are three different kinds of breakdown reactions: thermal, photolytic, and electrolytic.

Mass_{reactant = Mass_{product}

Mass_{mercury oxide = Mass_{mercury} + mass_{oxygen}

28g =        mass_{mercury} + 2g

   mass_{mercury} = 26g

Thus, 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.

percentage mass_{mercury} = \frac{mass_{mercury}}{mass_{mercury}oxide}  X 100%

= 26g/28g

= 93%

thus  93% is the percent by mass of Hg present in HgO.

Which statement is true?
Setler79 [48]
The first statement is true because s<span>peed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. Speed has nothing to do with direction. On the other hand, velocity is a vector quantity because direction is needed for this. </span>

What is the mass, in amu, of an atom with one proton and two neutrons?
Neko [114]

mass of proton mp=1.672621898e-27 kg and 1 amu=1.66053904e-27kg so it’s just divition (1.672621898e-27 / 1.66053904e-27) =1.007276 amu

In the reaction aA + bB &gt;&gt; dD, the lowercase letters represent?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Coefficient

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

aA + bB    →   dD

This equation shows that reaction is balanced by coefficient q,b and d.

Reactant    coefficients              Product      Coefficient

A                    a                               D                     d

 B                    b                  

Every balanced equation follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

there are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass. The numbers 6 with CO₂, 6 with H₂O and 6 with O₂  are coefficient which balance the equation.
