The reactants in the equation are mercury II oxide (HgO). This compound will decompose into mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) during the reaction.
Heating can decompose mercuric oxide into mercury and oxygen gas.
When 20 g of mercury oxide is heated, it will decompose into oxygen and mercury. The combined mass of oxygen and mercury will still be 20 g, as no mass is lost or gained in a chemical reaction according to the Law of Conservation of Mass.
HgHCO3 is the chemical formula for mercury(I) bicarbonate, which is a compound formed from mercury, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. This compound is unstable and can easily decompose to form other mercury compounds.
Some metal oxides that decompose when heated include lead(II) oxide (PbO), mercury(I) oxide (Hg2O), and copper(II) oxide (CuO). When heated, these metal oxides break down into their respective metal and oxygen gas.
The reactants in the equation are mercury II oxide (HgO). This compound will decompose into mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) during the reaction.
Mercury(II) oxide (HgO) is not thermally stable and will decompose upon heating to produce mercury and oxygen gas.
Mercury oxide can be decomposed, and in general, any chemical will decompose at a sufficiently high temperature.
Heating can decompose mercuric oxide into mercury and oxygen gas.
When 20 g of mercury oxide is heated, it will decompose into oxygen and mercury. The combined mass of oxygen and mercury will still be 20 g, as no mass is lost or gained in a chemical reaction according to the Law of Conservation of Mass.
HgHCO3 is the chemical formula for mercury(I) bicarbonate, which is a compound formed from mercury, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. This compound is unstable and can easily decompose to form other mercury compounds.
HgI is not a chemical reaction, it is the empirical formula for the compound Mercury (I) iodide, Hg2I2
Some metal oxides that decompose when heated include lead(II) oxide (PbO), mercury(I) oxide (Hg2O), and copper(II) oxide (CuO). When heated, these metal oxides break down into their respective metal and oxygen gas.
Mercuric oxide decomposes upon heating to give off mercury and oxygen.
Decompose.
anything will decompose if it has air
no they will not decompose
