HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

What is the total E associated with one mole of photons (a unit known as the Einstein) of 3.91x1019 Hz?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

        E=1.56\times 10^{10}J

Explanation:

The<em> energy of a photon</em>, E, can be calculated with the Planck-Einstein equation:

          E=hf

Where:

  • h is Planck's constant 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s, and
  • f is the frequency of the photon or electromagnetic radiation.

Substituting with your data:

          E=6.626\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3.91\times 10^{19}s^{-1}=2.5908\times 10^{-14}J

Now multiply by Avogadro's number to obtain the energy of one mole of photons:

          E=2.5908\times 10^{-14}J\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.56\times 10^{10}J

the half life of the radioactive element strontium-90 is 29.1 years. If 16 grams of strontium-90 are initially present, how many
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

4 g after 58.2 years

0.0156 After 291 years

Explanation:

Given data:

Half-life of strontium-90 = 29.1 years

Initially present: 16g

mass present after 58.2 years =?

Mass present after 291 years =?

Solution:

Formula:

how much mass remains =1/ 2n (original mass) ……… (1)

Where “n” is the number of half lives

to find n

For 58.2 years

n = 58.2 years /29.1 years

n= 2

or  291 years

n = 291 years /29.1 years

n= 10

Put values in equation (1)

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 22 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 4 (16g)

 mass remains = 4g

Mass after 58.2 years

mass remains =1/ 210 (16g)

mass remains =1/ 1024 (16g)

mass remains = 0.0156g

Ron and Hermione begin with 1.50 g of the hydrate copper(II)sulfate ∙ x-hydrate (CuSO4 ∙ xH2O), where x is an integer. Part of t
Gwar [14]

Answer

5

Explanation:

We can go about this using the percentage compositions.

First, we calculate the percentage composition of the copper sulphate. This is obtainable by using the mass.

0.96/1.5 * 100 = 64%

Hence the percentage by mass of the water present is 36%

The molar mass of the anhydrous sulphate is 64 + 32 +4(16) = 160g/mol

The molar mass of the water is 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Not forgetting that it is in multiples of x, the total molar mass of the water is 18x moles

The total mass of the copper sulphate hydrate is 160+ 18x

Now how do we get x? Like it is said earlier, the percentage composition is constant.

Hence, 64/100 * (160 + 18x) = 160

16000 = 64(160 + 18x)

16000 = 10,240 + 1152x

16,000 - 10,240 = 1152x

1152x = 5760

x = 5760/1152

x = 5

A 251 g strip of glass wool is used to insulate a reaction flask. During the reaction the temperature of the glass wool increase
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

8.9 KJ

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of strip = 251 g

Initial temperature = 22.8 °C

Final temperature = 75.9 °C

Specific heat  capacity of granite = 0.67 j/g.°C

Solution:

Specific heat capacity:

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of substance by one degree.

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 75.9 °C - 22.8 °C

ΔT = 53.1 °C

Q = 251 g × 0.67 j/g.°C × 53.1 °C

Q = 8929.8 J

Jolue to KJ.

8929.8J ×1 KJ / 1000 J

8.9 KJ

What volume will 6.745g of neon gas occupy at standard temp and pressure?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
First, multiply the mass by the molar mass of neon to find out how many moles of neon there are. Then, multiply by 22.4 to find out how many liters there are.

6.745g Ne x 1 mole Ne/20 g Ne x 22.4 L/1 mole Ne = 7.5544 L
