I'm sorry, but I cannot provide the specific response you're looking for as it is dependent on the specific equation being balanced. If you provide me with the unbalanced equation, I can help you balance it and determine the total mass of the reactants.
To determine the total mass of mercury and oxygen on the reactants side of the equation, we need to calculate the molar mass of HgO and then use stoichiometry to determine the mass of mercury and oxygen.
The molar mass of HgO can be calculated by adding the atomic masses of mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O).
Molar mass of HgO = (1 mol of Hg * molar mass of Hg) + (1 mol of O * molar mass of O)
The atomic masses of Hg and O are:
Molar mass of Hg = 200.59 g/mol
Molar mass of O = 16.00 g/mol
Plugging in these values into the equation:
Molar mass of HgO = (1 mol of Hg * 200.59 g/mol) + (1 mol of O * 16.00 g/mol)
Molar mass of HgO = 200.59 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol
Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol
Now, we can use stoichiometry to determine the mass of mercury and oxygen on the reactants side of the equation.
From the balanced equation:
2Hg + O2 ---> 2HgO
We can see that the ratio of mercury to mercuric oxide is 2:2 (or 1:1), and the ratio of oxygen to mercuric oxide is 1:2.
Therefore, the total mass of mercury and oxygen on the reactants side of the equation is equal to the molar mass of HgO multiplied by the stoichiometric coefficient (2) for Hg:
Total mass of mercury and oxygen = 216.59 g/mol * 2 = 433.18 g.
Therefore, the total mass of mercury and oxygen on the reactants side of the equation is approximately 433.18 grams.
To find the total mass of the Mercury and Oxygen on the reactants side of the equation, we need to calculate the molar masses of Mercury (Hg) and Oxygen (O2), and then multiply them by their respective coefficients.
Let's start with Mercury (Hg). The molar mass of Mercury is 200.59 g/mol. Since the coefficient for Mercury is 2, we multiply the molar mass by 2:
Mass of Mercury (Hg) = 2 * 200.59 g/mol = 401.18 g
Next, let's move on to Oxygen (O2). The molar mass of Oxygen is 32.00 g/mol. Again, since the coefficient for Oxygen is 1, we multiply the molar mass by 1:
Mass of Oxygen (O2) = 1 * 32.00 g/mol = 32.00 g
Now, to calculate the total mass of Mercury and Oxygen on the reactants side, we add the masses of Mercury and Oxygen together:
Total mass of Mercury and Oxygen = 401.18 g + 32.00 g = 433.18 g
So, the total mass of the Mercury and Oxygen on the reactants side of the equation is 433.18 grams.
