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

.35 g mercury(II) oxide left and 8.00 g of liquid mercury. How much oxygen gas was produced by the chemical reaction? Show your work.

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:

m_{HgO}^{consumed}=10.00g-1.35 g=8.65 g

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:

m_{O_2}=8.65g-8.00g=0.65g

This is the balanced reaction equation for the combustion of methane.

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass basically states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed. As such, we must be able to show this in our chemical reaction equations.

If you look at the equation above, you'll see an arrow that separates the reaction equation into two parts. This represents the direction of the reaction.

To the left of the arrow, we have our reactants.

To the right of the arrow, we have our products.

The quantity of each individual element in the left must equal the quantity of each individual element in the right.

So if you look below, you'll see the unbalanced equation, and I'll try to explain how to balance the reaction.

C

H

4

+  

O

2

C

O

2

+  

H

2

O

Our reactants in this equation are  

C

H

4

and  

O

2

.

Our next step is to break these down into individual atoms.

We have:

1 C atom, 4 H atoms & 2 O atoms.

If you're confused by this, look to see the little number to the bottom right of each element, the subscript, and it tells you how many of each atom are in the molecule. Make sense?

Now we look to the other side of the equation.

Here we see our products are  

C

O

2

+  

H

2

O

Again, we break these down into individual atoms again.

We have:

1 C atom, 2 H atom, 3 O atom

lana66690 [7]

Answer: P_4(l)+5O_2(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(l)  

Explanation:

We are given two reactions which are the two steps of a mechanism:

P_4(l)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 2P_2O_5(g)       ......(1)

P_2O_5(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(l)        .......(2)

To determine the net chemical equation, we will multiply equation 2

P_2O_5(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(l)\times 2  

2P_2O_5(g)+6H_2O(l)\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4(l) .......(3)

Adding (1) and (3)

P_4(l)+5O_2(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4(l)  

Thus, the net balanced chemical equation is:

P_4(l)+5O_2(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 4H_3PO_4(l)

Answer:

Glucose and oxygen are required for cellular respiration. As the law of conversation states, in a biochemical reaction, mass is conserved. The mass of hydrogen in the glucose is therefore conserved in the water molecules products.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

B) 1.65

Explanation:

See the image uploaded for the percent error formula

Work:

Theoretical Value - Accepted Value/Accepted Value * 100

= (24.7-24.3)/24.3 * 100

= 0.4/24.3 * 100

= 0.0164609053 * 100

= 1.64609053

Can be rounded to 1.65%
