Answer:
= 15.51 mL
Explanation:
Here's is the reaction:
2HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(s)+O₂(g)
In this reaction 2mol HgO = 1mol O₂
The molecular weight of HgO = 216.59g
so, 3.0g HgO = 3.0g x 1.00molHgO/216.59gHgO
= 0.0138511 molHgO
The amount of Oxygen follows:
0.0138511 molHgOx1/2= 0.00692555 mol O₂
Now, volume of 1 any gas = 22400mL
so, 0.00692555 mol O₂ x22400mLO₂/1mol O₂
= 15.513232mL O₂
