Answer:
2-3-1-4
Explanation:
The astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus did not have a theory about the Earth revolving around the sun until he got into astronomy and began to study the patterns of the sun and the moon as well as reading other entries from previous astronomers. You can pretty much guess from there, he had to have the theory before proving it etc.
A reaction in which Oxygen (O₂) is produced from Mercury Oxide (HgO) would be a decomposition reaction.
2HgO → 2Hg + O₂
If 250g of O₂ is needed to be produced,
then the moles of oxygen needed to be produced = 250g ÷ 32 g/mol
= 7.8125 mol
Now, the mole ratio of Oxygen to Mercury Oxide is 1 : 2
∴ if the moles of oxygen = 7.8125 mol
then the moles of mercury oxide = 7.8125 mol × 2
= 15.625 mol
Thus the number moles of HgO needed to produce 250.0 g of O₂ is 15.625 mol
