Decomposition reaction results in the formation of the products by splitting the reactants. Moles of mercury(ii) oxide needed are 15.63 moles.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

Moles are the ratio of mass and the molar mass of the compound or the molecule.

Moles of oxygen are calculated as:

\begin{aligned}\rm n &= \rm \dfrac {mass}{molar\; mass}\\\\&= \dfrac{250}{32}\\\\&= 7.8125 \;\rm moles\end{aligned}

The balanced chemical reaction can be shown as,

\rm 2HgO \rightarrow 2Hg + O_{2}

From the reaction, it can be said that 1 mole of oxygen requires 2 moles of mercury oxide.

Moles of mercury oxide are calculated as:

\begin{aligned}  \rm n HgO& = (7.8125 \;\rm moles \; O_{2}) \times (\dfrac{2 \;\rm moles\;  HgO}{1 \;\rm mole \; O_{2}})\\\\\rm n HgO &= 15.625 \;\rm moles \end{aligned}

Therefore, option C. 15.63 moles of mercury (II) oxide is needed.

Which of the following threats to biodiversity is a result of cutting down forests? (4 points)
Maslowich

Answer:

Explanation:

When I was growing up, one of the most popular cartoons was a little possum whose name was Pogo. He often said

“We have met the enemy and he is us.”

It is something Pogo said more than once. We are the problem with biodiversity being threatened.

We clear land for agriculture, not only in Canada and the United States, but in places like Brazil where it matters what is done to the environment. Those trees are the planet's lungs. Whole environmental groups are devoted to stopping the harvesting of trees that are hundreds of years old.

Our oceans have become cesspools of plastic.

Our rivers have become dumping grounds for all kinds of pollutants like paint and car tires to name just a couple.

Our landscape has been cluttered by billboards advertising things that are hundreds of miles away.

There's mining, oil, and other industries that make Mother Nature shudder every time they come near her.

HOW DOES DENSITY AFFECT THE MELTING POINT OF WATER?
ddd [48]
<span> As a liquid is heated, its vapor pressure increases until the vapor pressure equals the pressure of the gas above it. Bubbles of vaporized liquid (i.e., gas) form within the bulk liquid and then rise to the surface where they burst and release the gas. (At the boiling temperature the vapor inside a bubble has enough pressure to keep the bubble from collapsing.) In order to form vapor, the molecules of the liquid must overcome the forces of attraction between them.<span> The temperature of a boiling liquid remains constant, even when more heat is add.</span></span>

Why was it important to polish the copper strips and wire, the coin, and the nail in the electroplating experiment?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

You need to have a clean surface for contact between the solution and the material.

Explanation:

The presence of impurity on the surface of the material, and lack of surface uniformity (smoothness) can reduce the effective contact between material and solution and can interfere with the electroplating process's success.
