The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.
- <u><em>Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule </em></u>
Explanation:
Given:
no of moles of the oxygen gas = 0.692
Also given:
2 HgO → 2 Hg +
where,
HgO represents mercuric oxide
Hg represents mercury
represents oxygen
To calculate:
Molar mass of HgO:
Molar mass of HgO = 216 grams
molar mass of mercury (Hg) = 200 grams
molar mass of oxygen (O) =16 grams
HgO = 200 +16 = 216 grams
We know;
2×216 grams of HgO → 1 mole of oxygen molecule
? → 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule
=
= 298.944 grams of HgO
<u><em>Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule </em></u>
