A 75 gram solid cube of mercury (II) oxide has a density of 2.4 x 103 kg/m3 . What is the length of one side of the cube in cm?

The mercury (II) oxide completely dissociates and forms liquid mercury and oxygen gas. Write a balanced chemical equation and indicate if this process is a chemical or physical change?

The oxygen gas escapes and now you are left with liquid grey substance. Is this grey substance a compound, element, homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?

Explanation:

A 75 gram solid cube of mercury (II) oxide has a density of 2.4 × 10³ kg/m³.  What is the length of one side of the cube in cm?

Step 1: Convert the mass to kilograms

We will use the relationship 1 kg = 1,000 g.

Step 2: Calculate the volume (V) of the cube

Step 3: Calculate the length (l) of one side of the cube

We will use the following expression.

The mercury (II) oxide completely dissociates and forms liquid mercury and oxygen gas. Write a balanced chemical equation and indicate if this process is a chemical or physical change?

The balanced chemical equation is:

HgO(s) ⇒ Hg(l) + 1/2 O₂(g)

This is a chemical change because new substances are formed.

The oxygen gas escapes and now you are left with liquid grey substance. Is this grey substance a compound, element, homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?

The liquid gray substance is Hg(l), which is an element because it is formed by just one kind of atoms.

c-14 is carbon-14, or radiocarbon.   it is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
