Assuming complete decomposition of both samples,
First compound:
;
of the first compound would contain
Oxygen and mercury atoms seemingly exist in the first compound at a
ratio; thus the empirical formula for this compound would be
where the subscript "1" is omitted.
Similarly, for the second compound
;
of the first compound would contain
and therefore the empirical formula

Answer:
About 0.652
Explanation:
Because the reaction is balanced, we can go straight to the next step. The molar mass of potassium is about 39.098, while the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2 and the molar mass of water is 18. Therefore, 25.5g of potassium would be about 0.652 moles, and 220 grams of water would be about 12.222 moles, making potassium the limiting reactant. Since there is a single unit of each compound on both sides of the equation, there would be an equal amount of moles of potassium and hydrogen, and therefore about 0.652 moles of hydrogen gas would be produced. Hope this helps!
As Density = Mass/Volume
Mass = 26.0g
Density = 1.44g/mL
Therefore Volume = Mass/Density
=> Volume = 26.0/1.44 = 18.055... = 18.1mL (to 3 sig figs)
