8 0

So in order to answer this we need the number of moles of oxygen and the right stoichiometry.
The balanced reaction should be 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2, therefore 2 moles of mercury are produced for every one mole of oxygen gas. Since we have the mass of O2 we can calculate the moles as moles = mass/RMM where RMM is the relative molecular mass of O2, which is 32 g/mol. Therefore the number of moles = 125/16 = 3.9 mol.
Since 2 moles of Hg are produced for every one mole of O2, the number of moles of Hg = 3.9*2 = 7.8 mol.

Gold(ill) hydroxide is used in medicine, porcelain making, and gold plating. It is quite insoluble in aqueous solution. Which of

erik [133]

Answer:

NH3(aq)

Explanation:

Gold III hydroxide is an inorganic compound also known as auric acid. It can be dehydrated at about 140°C to yield gold III oxide. Gold III hydroxide is found to form precipitates in alkaline solutions hence it is not soluble in calcium hydroxide.

However, gold III hydroxide forms an inorganic complex with ammonia which makes the insoluble gold III hydroxide to dissolve in ammonia solution. The equation of this complex formation is shown below;

Au(OH)3(s) + 4 NH3(aq) -------> [Au(NH3)4]^3+(aq) + 3OH^-(aq)

Hence the formation of a tetra amine complex of gold III will lead to the dissolution of gold III hydroxide solid in aqueous ammonia.
