What mass of HgO is required to produce 0.692 mol of O2?

2HgO(s) -> 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

Explanation:

Given:

no of moles of the oxygen gas = 0.692

Also given:

2 HgO  → 2 Hg +

where,

HgO represents mercuric oxide

Hg represents mercury

represents oxygen

To calculate:

Molar mass of HgO:

Molar mass of HgO = 216 grams

molar mass of mercury (Hg) = 200 grams

molar mass of oxygen (O) =16 grams

HgO = 200 +16 = 216 grams

We know;

       2×216 grams of HgO   →  1 mole of oxygen molecule

             ?                              →  0.692 moles of oxygen molecule

          =

      = 298.944 grams of HgO

Therefore 298.44 grams of mercuric oxide is needed to produce 0.692 moles of oxygen molecule

the answer is b & c i believe : )
