i can't really read that reaction but! if there is an element by itself in either the reactant or the product side of the reaction QUICKLY think REDOX
because the oxidation states for ANY element is 0 by themselves and when they form compounds they either oxidize or reduce to their oxidation state
hope i helped

Balance Mercury oxide yields mercury plus oxygen?
2HgO(heat) ----> 2Hg + O2
What is the product of the decomposition reactant of mercury oxide?
The chemical formula (NOT: equation) for mercury oxide is (there are two possibillities):Mercury(I) oxide (mercurous oxide), Hg2O.Mercury(II) oxide (mercuric oxide), HgO
What is the balanced equation of mercuryII oxide HgO undergoes a chemical change to form mercury and oxygen?
the balanced equation of mercuryII oxide HgO undergoes a chemical change to form mercury and oxygen is given as .2HgO(s) --> 2Hg(l) + O2(g)The reaction is a redox reaction. Mercury (II) is reduced to zero charge. Oxygen is oxidized to zero charge.Molecule: HgO(s)
Is oxidizing mercury a physical or chemical change?
2HgO → 2Hg + O2 Mercury (II) oxide → Mercury (II) + Oxygen
Is mercury a solvent?
"Mercuric fulminate, HgC2N2O2 ... (is) almost insoluble in cold water and requiring 130 times it weight of boiling water for solution. It may be heated to 180° C. before exploding, and the explosion so brought about is much milder than that produced by percussion." NOTE: Water boils at 100° C. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/1911_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_Britannica/Explosives
Is 2HgO a decomposition reaction?
Mercuric oxide is a compound not a reaction.
What would you like what type of reactions is 4 Ag plus O2 arrow 2 Ag2O?
2HgO --> 2Hg + O2 is a decomposition reaction, in which Mercury oxide is decomposed into the element mercury and oxygen gas. A decomposition reaction is one in which a more complex substance is broken down into its simpler components.
What will be the chemical reaction after heating HgO?
2HgO (s) --> 2Hg(l) + O2 (g)
If you heat mercuric oxide you will get . and .?
Mercuric oxide will decompose into elemental Mercury and gaseous oxygen
Balance Mercury oxide yields mercury plus oxygen?
2HgO(heat) ----> 2Hg + O2
What is the equation for heating mercuric oxide in a test tube?
2HgO(s) + heat ---> 2Hg + O2
In the formula 2HgO the coefficient is?
The coefficient for oxygen is 1, and so is not written. The equation is already balanced.
What is the product of the decomposition reactant of mercury oxide?
The chemical formula (NOT: equation) for mercury oxide is (there are two possibillities):Mercury(I) oxide (mercurous oxide), Hg2O.Mercury(II) oxide (mercuric oxide), HgO
Write a balanced equation showing mercuryII oxide decomposing into mercury and oxygen gas?
2HgO------->2Hg+O2
What is the balanced equation of mercuryII oxide HgO undergoes a chemical change to form mercury and oxygen?
the balanced equation of mercuryII oxide HgO undergoes a chemical change to form mercury and oxygen is given as .2HgO(s) --> 2Hg(l) + O2(g)The reaction is a redox reaction. Mercury (II) is reduced to zero charge. Oxygen is oxidized to zero charge.Molecule: HgO(s)
What is word equation for 2HgO --- 2Hg O2?
2 molecules of mercuric oxide yields 2 atoms of mercury and 2 of oxygen.
Is oxidizing mercury a physical or chemical change?
2HgO → 2Hg + O2 Mercury (II) oxide → Mercury (II) + Oxygen
