The compounds that are produced upon this combustion reaction would be Carbon Dioxide and water.
CO2 = Carbon and Oxygen
H2O = Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The exact molecular amounts or moles can be determined by balancing this combustion reaction.
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
A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Overall charge is +1
