Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2). The balanced chemical equation is shown below.

2HgO  2Hg + O2


The molar mass of HgO is 216.59 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. How many moles of HgO are needed to produce 250.0 g of O2?

Respuesta :

2HgO=2Hg + O2
433,18 g. = 32 g
x. = 250 g
x= 3 384,21875 g of HgO is needed
