Answer:

2CH4(g)+3O2(g)→2CO(g)+4H2O(g)

Explanation:

Start with methane (CH4) and the gas product CO. It is safe to assume that the remaining products and reactants are O2 and H2O. There we have an unbalanced equation CH4+O2->CO+H2O after which it can be balanced as above.

A chemist determines by measurements that 0.030 moles of nitrogen gas participate in a chemical reaction. calculate the mass of
zzz [600]
Remember that: 
number of moles = mass/molar mass

First, we get the molar mass of the nitrogen gas molecule:
It is known the the nitrogen gas is composed of two nitrogen atoms, each with molar mass 14 gm (from the periodic table)
Therefore, molar mass of nitrogen gas = 14 x 2 = 28 gm

Second we calculate the mass of the precipitate:
we have number of moles = 0.03 moles (given)
and molar mass = 28 gm (calculated)
Using the equation mentioned before,
mass = number of moles x molar mass = 0.03 x 28 = 0.84 gm

an unknown amount of mercury (ii) oxide was decomposed in the lab. mercury metal was formed and 4.50 l of oxygen gas was release
Assoli18 [71]

The initial weight of mercury oxide in the sample was 59.1 g HgO.

<h3>Steps</h3>

chemical reaction

2HgO ⟶ 2Hg + O₂

the moles of O₂

pV = nRT

n = (pV)/(RT)

Data:

p = 0.970 atm

V = 4.50 L

R = 0.082 06 L·atm·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

T = 390.0 K

Calculation:

n = (0.970 × 4.500)/(0.082 06 × 390.0)

n = 0.1364 mol O₂

the moles of HgO

The molar ratio is 1 mol O₂/2 mol HgO.

Moles of HgO = 0.1364 mol O₂ × (2 mol Hg/1 mol O₂)

Moles of HgO = 0.2728 mol HgO

the mass of HgO

Mass of HgO = 0.2728 mol HgO × (216.59 g HgO/1 mol HgO)

Mass of HgO = 59.1 g HgO

<h3>What is the name of HgO?</h3>

For the creation of various organic mercury compounds and specific inorganic mercury salts, mercury(II) oxide, or HgO, serves as a source of elemental mercury.

This red or yellow crystalline substance is also utilised in mercury batteries and zinc-mercuric oxide electric cells as an electrode (combined with graphite).

<h3>What is the purpose of mercury oxide?</h3>

Mercuric oxide is a colourless, crystalline powder that ranges from yellow to orange-yellow.

It serves as a seed protectant, a pigment, a preservative, and an ingredient in alkaline batteries and cosmetics.

<h3>Is there a combination of mercury oxide?</h3>
  • The powder form of mercury oxide is dark black or dark brown.
  • An intimate blend of metallic mercury and mercuric oxide rather than a genuine compound.

What do cations and anions form?
melomori [17]

Answer: Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
