hey there!:
2HgO (s) => 2Hg (l) + O2 (g)
2 moles of HgO decompose to form 2 moles of Hg and 1 mole of O2 according to the reaction mentioned in the question.
So 4.00 moles of HgO must give 4 moles of Hg and 2 moles of O2 theoretically.
603 g of Hg = 603 / 200.6 = 3 moles
Percent yield = ( actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100
= ( 3/4) * 100
= 75 %
Hope this helps!
Well all reactions need energy to start it. The light is the energy that the reaction requires to start it. Sunlight also has no mass in the first place so laws of conservation of mass don't apply to it.
The correct answer is A. The image shows a nuclear fission. This takes place in any of the heavy nuclei after capture of a neutron. This is the opposite of nuclear fusion. In this case, nuclei are broken down into two.
