Answer:

A. 650 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

2 HgO(s) --> 2Hg(s)  + O2(l)

From the reaction;

2 mol of HgO produces 1 mol of O2

x mol of HgO would produce 1.50 mol of O2

2 = 1

x = 1.5

Solving for x;

x = 1.5 * 2 / 1 = 3 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 3 mol  * 216.59 g/mol

Mass = 649.77 g ≈ 650. g

Correct option is ;

A. 650 g
