Six elemental gases are composed of such exceptionally stable atoms that they almost never react with other elements. They are the gases that make up Group 0 (the rightmost column) of the periodic table: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).
15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.
<em>Step 1</em>. Convert <em>grams of O_2 to moles of O_2</em>
Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2
<em>Step 2</em>. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert <em>moles of O_2 to moles of HgO
</em>
Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = <em>15.63 mol HgO</em>
