This is false. They were both chemists and they made many discoveries such as realizing that charcoal and diamond are different forms of the same element and proposing an atomic theory, but they never tried to turn diamonds to gold.
An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1. Word equation:</u>
- <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>
<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>
<u>3. Mole ratio</u>
Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>
Use the equation for ideal gases:

<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>

<u>6. Convert to mass</u>
- mass = # moles × molar mass
- molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol
- mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g
