Mercury and Oxygen.
If 20g of mercury oxide were heated, the combined mass of oxygen and mercury would be 20 grams.
The word equation for the breakdown of solid mercury(II) oxide when heated is: Mercury(II) oxide --> Mercury + Oxygen.
No. The element mercury contains only mercury atoms. The planet Mercury is made mostly of silicon, oxygen, and iron.
Mercury(II) oxide does not give off oxygen when heated; instead, it decomposes into mercury and oxygen gas.
The word equation for this reaction is: mercury oxide (s) → mercury (l) + oxygen (g).
Mercury has a lower melting point compared to oxygen. Mercury melts at -38.83°C, while oxygen melts at a much lower temperature of -218.79°C.
No, mercury is a chemical element found on the periodic table and does not contain oxygen in its pure form.
The atmosphere on Mercury is about 42% oxygen, but is very thin as to be almost non-existent.
The reactants in the equation are mercury II oxide (HgO). This compound will decompose into mercury (Hg) and oxygen (O2) during the reaction.
When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)
Mercuric oxide is made of the elements mercury and oxygen.
