Question

Q.]When Solid mercury (II)oxide is heated, liquid mercury and oxygen gas are produced. Balance the Equation. PLZ HELP ME ASAP cause i didn't understand it

Answer 1

When solid mercury oxide is heated , it gives metallic liquid mercury and oxygen.
It is an example of thermal decomposition reaction.

Balanced chemical equation is :

2HgO (s)---->2 Hg(l) + O2(g)

Answer 2

It is an example of thermal decomposition.

Mercury oxide is also known as mercuric oxide. It has a red orange colour. It is solid at room temperature.

When Solid mercury (II)oxide is heated, liquid mercury and oxygen gas are produced

Word equation:
Mercury (II) oxide+ heat------->Mercury (liquid)+Oxygen(gas)

Skeleton equation:
HgO(s) + heat------->Hg(l) +O2(gas)

Balanced equation:
2HgO(s) + heat------->2Hg(l) +O2(gas)
