Suppose 83.0 ml. of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 70.0 °c and pressure of exactly i atm. calculate the mass of mercury(ii) oxide that must have reacted. round your answer to 3 significant digits.

m = 0.3249 g

Explanation:

First, I'm assuming you have a reaction of mercury(II) oxyde descomposition. If this is the case, then the equation to use is the following:

HgO > Hg + O2

Balancing the equation:

2HgO > 2Hg + O2

This means that 2 moles of HgO reacts to produce 1 mole of O2, so, we first calculate the moles of O2, then, the moles of HgO and finally the mass:

We have the volume of O2, the pressure and temperature, so let's use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Solving for n:

n = PV/RT

R: 0.082 L atm / K mole

T = 70 + 273 = 343 K

V = 83 / 1000 = 0.083 L

Calculating n:

n = 1 * 0.083 / 0.082 * 343

n = 0.003 moles

as stated before, 2 moles of HgO reacts with 1 mole of oxygen so:

2 moles HgO = 1 moles O2

moles HgO = moles O2 / 2

moles HgO = 0.003 / 2 = 0.0015 moles

Finally, to calculate the mass:

m = n * MM

the molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol, so replacing:

m = 0.0015 * 216.59

m = 0.3249 g

i'm pretty sure it is letter c.) car

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
