Answer:
1.68 mole mercury produced.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of oxygen produced = 27 g
Moles of mercury produced = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2HgO → 2Hg + O₂
Moles of oxygen:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 27 g/ 32 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.84 mol
Moles of mercury produced:
O₂ : Hg
1 : 2
0.84 : 2×0.84 = 1.68 mol
