In order to get HgO you would need 2Hg+1O2=2HgO. Since oxygen is diatomic you need two when it stands alone causing you to need two mercuries to balance out the reactants and the product I hope this helps
When reversing a given reaction, we simply change the sign of the standard enthalpy change value. Therefore, the reaction will become:
H₂O → H₂ + 0.5O₂, ΔH = 286kJ
This is because if a certain amount of energy is released when a reaction occurs, the same amount of energy must be supplied for the reaction to occur in the reverse direction.
To find the ratio of the the combination for the ion, write the charge of the cation as the subscript for the anion, and the charge of the anion as the subscript of the cation. This will make the charges effectively cancel and you will be left with a neutral ionic compound. Remember, that an ionic compound is made up of a metal and a nonmetal.
For Ca2+ and Cl-, you will get the neutral compound to be CaCl₂.
Defined as a phenomenon of liberation of electron from the surface that is stimulated by temperature elevation, radiation, or by strong electric field.
