Mass of Mercury(Hg) : 55.8 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2HgO ⇒ O₂ + 2Hg

Required

Mass of Mercury

Solution

Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, where the masses before and after the reaction are the same

So mass of reactants = mass of products

Mass of reactants = mass HgO = 60 g

Mass of products = mass O₂ + mass Hg

60 g = 4.2 g + mass Hg

mass Hg = 60 - 4.2

mass Hg = 55.8 g

Margaret [11]
The answer is C due to the rain making contact with the iron it creates moisture which cause the iron to begin oxidizing which causes the iron to rust which is a chemical reaction then the blade which was once malleable because it was heat becomes harden and rust is created as I said before the physical aspect of the iron chances due to rust developing on it it's no longer has the luster it once had

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

500 years

Explanation:

The original carbon-14 was 100%, and after 100 years, it decays 1.202%. So after 100 years it goes to 98.798%, after more 100 years (200 years), it will be 97.596% (98.798 - 1.202), thus, after n 100 years "package", the percenatge will be:

100% - actual% = n*1.202

n = (100% - actual%)/1.202

n = (100% - 94%)/1.202

n = 4.992

So, the number of years is n*100 = 4.992*100 = 499.2 ≅ 500 years.
