2 Hgo 2 Hg + O2 1. How many grams of mercury (Hg) can be

produced from 3.55 moles of Hgo?

712 moles of Hg are produced

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂

Where 2 moles of HgO reacts producing 2 moles of Hg and 1 mole of O₂

To solve this question we need to find the moles of Hg produced, then, using its molar mass:

Moles Hg:

3.55mol HgO * (2 mol Hg / 2 mol HgO) = 3.55 mol Hg

Grams -Molar mass Hg: 200.59g/mol-:

3.55mol Hg * (200.59g/mol) =

712 moles of Hg are produced
