Mercury(II) oxide decomposes to form mercury and oxygen, like this:
2Hg (l) + O2 (g) → 2HgO (s)
At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a reaction vessel containing a mixture of mercury(II) oxide, mercury, and oxygen at equilibrium has the following composition:
compound amount
Hg 14.7g
O2 13.4g
HgO 17.8g
Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction. Round your answer to significant digits. Clears your work. Undoes your last action. Provides information about entering answers.

Answers

Answer 1

Solution :

For the reaction given :

[tex]$\text{2Hg}_{(l)}+\text{O}_2_{(g)} \rightarrow \text{2HgO}_{(s)}$[/tex]

Thus we know that the equilibrium constant [tex]$K_c$[/tex] contains aqueous an dgas species only.

∴       [tex]$K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]}$[/tex]    ............(1)

Now at the equilibrium, an amount of the 13.4 g of oxygen was found in the vessel of 6.9 liters. For determining the concentration of the oxygen gas, we use :

[tex]$[O_2]= \frac{n_{O_2}}{V_{soln}}$[/tex]  ...................  (2)

Here, [tex]$n_{O_2}$[/tex] = no. of moles of oxygen gas (mol)

         [tex]$V_{soln}$[/tex] = volume of solution (L)

Therefore the number of moles of the oxygen gas is calculated by directly using the molecular weight (31.9988 g/mol) as the conversion factor.

∴      [tex]$n_{O_2}= 13.4 \ g \times \frac{\text{1 mol}}{31.9988 \ g}$[/tex]

              = 0.418 mol

Now substituting the known values in (2), we can find the equilibrium concentration of the oxygen gas :

[tex]$[O_2] =\frac{0.418 \ \text{mol}}{6.9 \ \text{L}}$[/tex]

     = 0.0605 M

Therefore substituting the result in (1), the equilibrium constant for the reaction is :

[tex]$K_c=\frac{1}{0.0605}$[/tex]

    = 16.52

Answers

the next volcano in the Hawaiian chain should form east or south of the Island of Hawai'i. Abundant evidence indicates that such a new volcano exists at Lö'ihi

Answer:

The Hawaiian Islands are a very small section of a huge chain of volcanic islands that crosses the northern half of the Pacific Ocean, called the Hawaiian-Emperor Volcanic Island Chain, which is over 6,000 kilometres long. The chain is linear, with a large bend in the middle: the southern half is called the Hawaiian Ridge and the northern half is called the Imperial Seamount.

How many moles are in 2.5L of 1.75 M Na2CO3

Answers

Answer:

4.375 moles Na2CO3

Explanation:

Formula for molarity is;

M = n/V

Where;

M is molarity

n is number of moles

V is volume

Making n the subject we have;

n = VM

We are given;

M = 1.75 M

V = 2.5 L

Thus;

n = 2.5 × 1.75

n = 4.375 moles Na2CO3

We obviously cannot wait for million years to determine the half-life of technetium, or even years to determine the half-life of plutonium. The half-life of a substance is determined using a Geiger counter, which is essentially a tube filled with an inert gas. When a particle decays and produces radiation, it briefly ionizes the gas and produces a detectable electric pulse, which is amplified and counted by a detector (before digital displays were available, you would hear clicks and see a needle register on a dial). Determine the formula for the half-life of a substance with an initial count of pulses and a count of pulses minutes later.

Answers

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

We obviously cannot wait for 4 million years to determine the half-life of technetium, or even 87.7 years to determine the half-life of plutonium. The half-life of a substance is determined using a Geiger counter, which is essentially a tube filled with an inert gas. When a particle decays and produces radiation, it briefly ionizes the gas and produces a detectable electric pulse, which is amplified and counted by a detector (before digital displays were available, you would hear clicks and see a needle register on a dial). Determine the formula for the half-life of a substance with an initial count of No pulses and a count of N1 pulses M minutes later.

Answer:

M1/2 = 0.693/k

Explanation:

Given that the initial count rate is No pulses

The count rate after M minutes is N1

Then from;

A = Aoe^-kt

A= N1

Ao=No

I can now write;

N1 = Noe^-kM

The half life is the time taken for the activity of the radioactive nuclide to reach half its initial value. Hence;

N1/No =e^-kM = 1/2

Taking natural logarithm of both sides as shown below;

-kM1/2 = ln(1/2)

M1/2 = -  (ln(1/2)/k)

M1/2 = 0.693/k

Hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1 in all compounds excepts when it binds with metals and has an oxidation state of -1.​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In the periodic table, hydrogen is placed in group 1 for convenience. Hydrogen is not a metal, however, its common oxidation state is +1. It easily forms a univalent positive ion just like group 1 elements.

So, when hydrogen is combined with strongly electropositive metals such as sodium, lithium, etc, hydrogen accepts one electron and exhibits an oxidation state of -1 in those compounds.

Such compounds in which hydrogen is combined with strongly electropositive metals to give a binary compound is called a hydride.

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

4 Fes + 7 O₂ ⇒ 2 Fe₂O₃ + 4 SO₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 11.15 g of O₂

The molar mass of O₂ is 32.00 g/mol.

11.15 g × 1 mol/32.00 g = 0.3484 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of SO₂ produced from 0.3484 moles of O₂

The molar ratio of O₂ to SO₂ is 7:4.

0.3484 mol O₂ × 4 mol SO₂/7 mol O₂ = 0.1991 mol SO₂

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.1991 moles of SO₂

The molar mass of SO₂ is 64.07 g/mol.

0.1991 mol × 64.07 g/mol = 12.76 g

Answers

Answer: The concentration of a benzene solution is 4.05 molal

Explanation:

Molality of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per kg of the solvent.

[tex]Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}[/tex]

where,

n = moles of solute

[tex]W_s[/tex] = weight of solvent in g

moles of [tex]C_6H_6[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{12.0g}{78g/mol}=0.154mol[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the formula of molality, we get

[tex]molality=\frac{0.154\times 1000}{38.0g}=4.05[/tex]  

Therefore, the concentration of a benzene solution is 4.05 molal
