The excess reagent for the given chemical reaction is mercury (II) perchlorate and the amount left after the completion of reaction is 0.048 moles. The amount of mercury sulfide formed in the reaction is 35.82 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

For sodium sulfide:

Given mass of sodium sulfide = 12.026 g

Molar mass of sodium sulfide = 78.045 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of sodium sulfide}=\frac{12.026g}{78.045g/mol}=0.154mol$

For mercury (II) perchlorate:

Given mass of mercury (II) perchlorate = 80.701 g

Molar mass of mercury (II) perchlorate = 399.49 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of mercury (II) perchlorate}=\frac{80.701g}{399.49g/mol}=0.202mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$Hg(ClO_4)_2(aq.)+Na_2S(aq.)\rightarrow HgS(s)+2NaClO_4(aq.)$

Here, the solid precipitate is mercury sulfide.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium sulfide reacts with 1 mole of mercury (II) perchlorate.

So, 0.154 moles of sodium sulfide will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.154=0.154moles$ of mercury (II) perchlorate

As, given amount of mercury (II) perchlorate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sodium sulfide is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

Amount of excess reagent (mercury (II) perchlorate) left = 0.202 - 0.154 = 0.048 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sodium sulfide reacts with 1 mole of mercury sulfide.

So, 0.154 moles of sodium sulfide will react with = $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.154=0.154moles$ of mercury sulfide.

Now, calculating the mass of mercury sulfide from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of mercury sulfide = 232.66 g/mol

Moles of mercury sulfide = 0.154 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.154mol=\frac{\text{Mass of mercury sulfide}}{232.66g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of mercury sulfide}=35.82g$

Hence, the excess reagent for the given chemical reaction is mercury (II) perchlorate and the amount left after the completion of reaction is 0.048 moles. The amount of mercury sulfide formed in the reaction is 35.82 grams.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
