This is a chemical reaction; oxygen is released.
Mercuric oxide or mercury (II) oxide : HgO
Heating can decompose mercuric oxide into mercury and oxygen gas.
HgO, this is formula for mercuric oxide.
Mercuric oxide decomposes upon heating to give off mercury and oxygen.
Mercuric oxide is a chemical compound composed of mercury and oxygen atoms. Its chemical formula is HgO, with one mercury atom bound to two oxygen atoms. It is commonly known as mercuric(II) oxide or simply mercury oxide.
The equation for heating mercuric oxide (HgO) in a test tube is: 2HgO(s) → 2Hg(l) + O2(g). This reaction is a decomposition reaction where mercuric oxide decomposes to form mercury and oxygen gas when heated.
When mercuric oxide is heated, it changes from red to yellow as it decomposes into mercury and oxygen gas.
Mercuric oxide will decompose into elemental Mercury and gaseous oxygen
Mercuric oxide is in the solid state.
by heating mercuric oxide oxygen will evaporate and mercury will be left in the flask
