Mercury can be obtained by reacting mercury(ii) sulfide with calcium oxide. how many grams of calcium oxide are needed to produce 42.0 g of hg? 4hgs(s) + 4cao(s) > 4hg(l) + 3cas(s) + caso4. show all the work

What does x represent in the formula for the compound xcl4?

Deferentiate volatile and non volatile acid

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
