For Hg :
2405 g mol / 200.59 g = 0.0012 mol
For O:
( 2.5000 - 2.405 ) g mol / 15.999 g = 0.006 mol
0.012 : 0.006 = 2 Hg
0.006 : 0.006 = 1 O
Answer:
The empirical formula is Hg 2 O.

Answer: 136 g of  NaN_3 must be reacted to inflate an air bag to 70.6 L at STP.

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P= pressure of nitrogen gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V =volume of nitrogen gas = 70.6 L

n = number of moles of nitrogen gas = 1 atm (at STP)

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/Kmol

T = temperature of nitrogen gas = 273 K (at STP)

1atm\times 70.6L=n\times 0.0821 L atm/K mol\times 273

n=3.14

For the balanced chemical reaction:

2NaN_3(s)\rightarrow 2Na(s)+3N_2(g)

3 moles of nitrogen are produced by = 2 moles of NaN_3

3.14 moles of nitrogen are produced by =\frac{2}{3}\times 3.14=2.09 moles of NaN_3

Mass of NaN_3 = Moles × Molar mass = 2.09 mole × 65 g/mol = 136 g
