10 seconds = 8grams
then just divide by 2 another 4 times...
= 0.5grams after 50 seconds

The first thing we need to do here is to recognize the unit of molarity and the units of the given percentage of nitric acid.
Molarity is mol HNO3 / L of solution. This is our aim
The given percentage is 0.68 g HNO3/ g solution
multiplying this with density to convert g solution into mL solution and dividing with the molecular weight of HNO3 (63 g/mol) to convert g HNO3 to mol. Therefore we obtain
0.016 mol/ mL or 16.23 mol/ L (M)
Atomic mass Hg = 200.59 u.m.a
200.59 g --------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
( mass Hg ) ----------- 1.20 x10²² atoms
mass Hg = ( 1.20x10²² ) x 200.59 / 6.02x10²³
mass Hg = 2.407x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³
= 3.998 g of Hg
hope this helps!
