The mass of HgO needed for 100 g of hg is 108 g

<h3>Finding the  theoretical yield of Hg.</h3>

Given that

  • Actual yield of Hg = 100 g
  • Percentage yield = 50%

Then Theoretical yield of Hg = Actual yield / percentage yield

Theoretical yield = 100 / 50%

Theoretical yield = 100 / 0.5

Theoretical yield of Hg = 200 g

<h3> Calculating the mass of HgO needed for the reaction.</h3>

Equation of the reaction: 2Hgo (s)→2hg (l)+O2 (g)

Molar mass of HgO = 201 + 16 = 217 g/mol

Molar mass of Hg = 201 g/mol

<em>Recall that ,</em>

Number of moles= mass/ Molar mass

Therefore,

Mass of HgO (according to balanced equation)

= 2 × 217 = 434 g

Mass of Hg from the balanced equation = 2 × 201 = 402 g

Now,Having known that

434 g of HgO produces 402 g of Hg

200 g of Hg will be produce by = (200 × 434) / 402 = 216 g of HgO.

We can conclude that if 200 g of Hg is prodced by  216 g of HgO.

100g wll be produced by (216 x100 ) / 2=108g

Thus,to  produce 100 g of hg,  108g of HgO is needed.

SOVA2 [1]
Outlier is a value which looks isolated from other values, and it can be either upper or lower end.
A good stem and leaf plot

* shows the first digits of the number (thousands, hundreds or tens) as the stem and shows the last digit (ones) as the leaf.
* usually uses whole numbers. Anything that has a decimal point is rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, test results, speeds, heights, weights, etc.
* looks like a bar graph when it is turned on its side.
* shows how the data are spread—that is, highest number, lowest number, most common number and outliers (a number that lies outside the main group of numbers).
