If 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.
<h3>
What is decomposition reaction?</h3>
Decomposition reactions occur when complex chemical entities split apart into smaller components. Decomposition reactions often demand energy input.
There are three different kinds of breakdown reactions: thermal, photolytic, and electrolytic.
= 
= 
28g = 
+ 2g
= 26g
Thus, 28.4 g of HgO decomposes and produces 2.0 g of oxygen, then 26 grams of Hg is produced.
X 100%
= 26g/28g
= 93%
thus 93% is the percent by mass of Hg present in HgO.

Answer:
3.2 g O₂
Explanation:
To find the mass of O₂, you need to (1) convert grams H₂O to moles H₂O (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles H₂O to moles O₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given value (3.6 g).
Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol
Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.014 g/mol
2 H₂O -----> 2 H₂ + 1 O₂
Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)
Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol
3.6 g H₂O 1 mole 1 mole O₂ 31.996 g
---------------- x --------------- x --------------------- x --------------- = 3.2 g O₂
18.014 g 2 moles H₂O 1 mole
The answer is A. Further away. I hope I helped. Have a great day/night!!!!!! ❤️
