Question

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

Answer 1

The theoretical yield of the Hg is 4.02 g.

What s the theoretical yield?

The theoretical yield is the yield that is obtained from the stoichiometry of the reaction.

The reaction equation is; 2HgO(s) ------> 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

Number of moles of HgO =  4.37 g/217 g/mol = 0.02 moles

Number of moles of Hg = 3.21 g/201 g/mol = 0.012 moles

Now;

Theoretical yield of Hg = 0.02 moles * 201 g/mol = 4.02 g
