How many Hg atoms are in 64.0g of HgO?
55.8 grams
What is the romain numeral for HgO?
The Roman numeral for HgO is not applicable. Roman numerals are typically used for representing numbers rather than chemical formulas. HgO is the chemical formula for mercury(II) oxide.
How many moles of mercury (II) oxide are needed to produce 125 g of oxygen?
To determine how many moles of mercury (II) oxide (HgO) are needed to produce 125 g of oxygen (O₂), we first need to consider the decomposition reaction: 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g). From this equation, we see that 2 moles of HgO produce 1 mole of O₂. The molar mass of O₂ is approximately 32 g/mol, so 125 g of O₂ corresponds to about 3.91 moles (125 g ÷ 32 g/mol). Therefore, since 2 moles of HgO produce 1 mole of O₂, we need 7.82 moles of HgO (3.91 moles O₂ × 2 moles HgO/mole O₂).
Is HgO thermally stable?
Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) is not thermally stable and will decompose upon heating to produce mercury and oxygen gas.
Why is mercuric oxide banned?
Mercury oxide (HgO) is considered to be toxic.
