- Upon heating, mercury (II) oxide undergoes a decomposition reaction: 2HgO(s)2Hg(l)+O2(g) A sample of HgO weighing 7.22g was heated. The collected mercury weighed 5.95g. What was the percentage yield of the reaction?arrow_forwardAlkali metal hydroxides are sometimes used to “scrub” excess carbon dioxide from the air in closed spaces (such as submarines and spacecraft). For example, lithium hydroxide reacts with carbon dioxide according to the unbalanced chemical equation :math>LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(g) ppose a lithium hydroxide canister contains 155 g of LiOH(s). What mass of CO2(g)will the canister be able to absorb? If it is found that after 24 hours of use the canister has absorbed 102 g of carbon dioxide, what percentage of its capacity has been reached?arrow_forwardAmmonium sulfide reacts With copper(ll) nitrate in a double replacement reaction. What mole ratio would you use to determine the moles of NH4NO3 produced if the moles of CuS are known?arrow_forward
- Assuming a 100 reaction yield, it was calculated that 6.983g of naturally occurring elemental iron would be needed to react with another element to form 18.149g of product. If iron composed only of the iron-60 isotope was used to form the product, how many grams of iron-60 would be required?arrow_forwardBalance the following equations, for which correct chemical formulas are already written. We have provided space for you to insert coefficients directly into the unbalanced equations. Balanced equations are given in the answer section at the end of the chapter. Fe+Cl2FeCl3arrow_forward
