15.63 mol. You need 15.63 mol HgO to produce 250.0 g O_2.

Step 1. Convert grams of O_2 to moles of O_2

Moles of O_2 = 250.0 g O_2 × (1 mol O_2/32.00 g O_2) = 7.8125 mol O_2

Step 2. Use the molar ratio of HgO:O_2 to convert moles of O_2 to moles of HgO

Moles of HgO = 0.8885 mol O_2 × (2 mol HgO/1 mol O_2) = 15.63 mol HgO

Answer:

2:1

Explanation:

The first step in this type of question is ensure yourself that the chemical is balanced. After establishing that, you read off the answer from the stoichiometric coefficients (the numbers in front of the formula) of potassium bromide and bromine and write those as the ratio, the molar ratio to be more specific.
