Your answer is going to be b
78 protons are found in platinum(pt).
Oxygen gas produced : 0.7 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
10.0 grams HgO
9.3 grams Hg
Required
Oxygen gas produced
Solution
Reaction⇒Decomposition
2HgO(s)⇒2Hg(l)+O₂(g)
Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, where the masses before and after the reaction are the same
mass of reactants = mass of products
mass HgO = mass Hg + mass O₂
10 g = 9.3 g + mass O₂
mass O₂ = 0.7 g
Answer:

Explanation:
Let's rewrite the given word equation in its chemical balanced equation representation:
1. Lead(II) nitride is represented by lead, Pb, in an oxidation state of 2+, while nitride is a typical nitrogen anion with a state 3-. As a result, the lowest common multiple between 2 and 3 is 6, meaning 2 lead cations are needed to balance 3 nitrogen anions:
.
2. Ammonium sulfate consists of an ammonium cation with a 1+ charge and sulfate anion with a 2- charge, two ammonium cations needed:
.
3. Lead(II) sulfate would have one lead cation and one sulfate anion, as they have the same magnitude of charges with opposite signs:
.
4. Ammonium nitride would require three amonium cations to balance the nitride anion:
.
Let's write the balanced equation:
