Question

Calculate the amount of mercury obtained by the
decomposition of 2.16 kg of mercuric oxide.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical Reactions,

We have,

108 gm HgO decomposed.

Have to find the amount of Hg produced.

Now the reaction is

2HgO--->2Hg +O2

So 2(200 + 16)=432gm of HgO produces 2(200)=400gm of Hg

So 1 gm of HgO will produce 400/432 gm

So 108 gm will produce = (400/432)×108 gm

=400/4 gm

= 100 gm of Hg

Therefore 108 gm of mercury oxide will produce 100 gm of mercury.

That's it
