heating antimony trioxide (commonly used in the ceramics, glass, and pharmaceutical industries) and mercuric oxide together at 500°C for no less than 48 hours.
You have to heat up the mercury oxide so it decomposes....you will then be left with mercury
Iupac names:mercury(I) oxide is Hg2O, also called mercurous oxideandmercury(II) oxide is HgO, also called mercuric oxide
Mercury+Oxygen----> Mercury Oxide
When Hg2+ (mercury oxide) is heated it creates both Hg (liquid mercury) and O2 (oxygen gas)
Mercury only has a two and one oxidation state. HgO would be the formula for mercury II oxide.
Antimony(III) oxide = Sb2O3
Antimony oxide
Sb2O3
IUPAC names: Mercury(I) oxide for Hg2O and Mercury(II) oxide for HgO
Yes, Mercury(II) oxide, also called mercuric oxide or simply mercury oxide are all the smae compound.
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.
synthesis
Yes it is, and it is written as Mercury (II) oxide
You have to heat up the mercury oxide so it decomposes....you will then be left with mercury
Rusting is an oxidation and can be considered as a synthesis of an iron oxide.
If 20g of mercury oxide were heated, the combined mass of oxygen and mercury would be 20 grams.
