First take the Mercury oxide and heat it so that it decomposes completely. This will drive off the oxygen gas and leave you with elemental mercury. Record the exact mass of the mercury that you have left at the end of the reaction. Divide this mass of mercury by the original mass of your mercury oxide sample and multiply by 100. This will be the percent mercury by mass in your original sample.

How can you separate mercury oxide?
You have to heat up the mercury oxide so it decomposes....you will then be left with mercury
What is the formula for Mercury I oxide and Mercury II oxide?
Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called mercuric oxide
What is the word equation for solid mercury two oxide breads down when heated forming the elements mercury and oxygen?
Mercury+Oxygen----> Mercury Oxide
When Mercury oxide is heated it forms?
When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)
What is the formula for Mercury III oxide?
Mercury only has a two and one oxidation state. HgO would be the formula for mercury II oxide.
What is the IUPAC name for Mercury I oxide?
IUPAC names: Mercury(I) oxide for Hg2O and Mercury(II) oxide for HgO
Is mercury oxide and mercuric oxide same thing?
Yes, Mercury(II) oxide, also called mercuric oxide or simply mercury oxide are all the smae compound.
What is HgO2?
mercuric oxide That name is used as the systematic or common name for a compound. This compound is also known as Mercury (II) oxide due to the oxidation number of a transition metal being used in the IUPAC nomenclature. The compound, Hg2O, would, therefore, be known as Mercury (I) oxide or mercurous oxide.
Is Mercury oxide a solid?
Yes it is, and it is written as Mercury (II) oxide
How can you separate mercury oxide?
You have to heat up the mercury oxide so it decomposes....you will then be left with mercury
When heated mercury oxide produces oxygen plus mercury what would be the combined mass of oxygen and mercury if 20g of mercury oxide were heated?
If 20g of mercury oxide were heated, the combined mass of oxygen and mercury would be 20 grams.
What is Mercury oxide made of?
oxygen and mercury
What is the formula for Mercury I oxide and Mercury II oxide?
Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called mercuric oxide
What is the word equation for solid mercury two oxide breads down when heated forming the elements mercury and oxygen?
Mercury+Oxygen----> Mercury Oxide
Is mercury oxide an element?
No, mecuric oxide is a compound
What is the formula of mercuric oxide?
Mercuric oxide or mercury (II) oxide : HgO
Can you tell from the appearance of mercury oxide that it contains mercury?
No
