If 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.
<h3>
What is decomposition reaction?</h3>
Decomposition reactions occur when complex chemical entities split apart into smaller components. Decomposition reactions often demand energy input.
There are three different kinds of breakdown reactions: thermal, photolytic, and electrolytic.
= 
= 
28g = 
+ 2g
= 26g
Thus, 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.
X 100%
= 26g/28g
= 93%
thus 93% is the percent by mass of Hg present in HgO.

The empirical formula for a compound that contains 48.6%C, 8.2% H, and 43.2% S by mass is 
.
<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>
An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.
We need to calculate the number of moles
Number of a mole of carbon =
48.6 g X (
) =4.05 mole
Number of a mole of hydrogen =
8.2g X (
) =8.14 mole
Number of moles of sulphur =
43.2g X (
) = 1.35 mole
Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 1.35 moles.
Carbon= 
=3
Oxygen= 
=6
Sulfur= 
=1

Answer is 3.306 Pa.
<em>Explanation:</em>
This is a simple unit conversion problem.
1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101325 Pa
Hence,
0.0248 mmHg = (101325 Pa / 760 mmHg) x 0.0248 mmHg
= 3.306 Pa
Pressure can be measured by using many units such as atm, Pa, torr, bar, cmHg, mmHg and so on.
The relationships among those units as follows
1 atm = 101325 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 760 torr, 760 mmHg = 76 cmHg
Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds
Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.
The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.
