Assume that the test tube shown started out having 10.00 g of mercury(II) oxide. After heating the test tube briefly, you find 1
1 answer:
This problem is providing information about the initial mass of mercury (II) oxide (10.00 g) which is able to produce liquid mercury (8.00 g) and gaseous oxygen and asks for the resulting mass of the latter, which turns out to be 0.65 g after doing the corresponding calculations.
Initially, it is given a mass of 10.00 g of the oxide and 1.35 g are left which means that the following mass is consumed:
Now, since 8.00 grams of liquid mercury are collected, it is possible to calculate the grams of oxygen that were produced, by considering the law of conservation of mass, which states that the mass of the products equal that of the reactants as it is nor destroyed nor created. In such a way, the mass of oxygen turns out to be:

Answer: The partial pressure of is 1.86 atm
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as
The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,
Pressure at eqm. 0.973 atm 0.548atm x atm
The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,
Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :
By solving the term 'x', we get :
x = 1.86 atm
Thus, the partial pressure of is 1.86 atm
