Answer:
0.5 moles of HgO will produced 0.25 moles of oxygen
Explanation:
Given data:
Number of moles of HgO = 0.5 mol
Number of moles of oxygen = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation;
2HgO → 2Hg + O₂
WE will compare the moles of HgO with oxygen from balance chemical equation.
HgO : O₂
2 : 1
0.5 : 1/2×0.5 =0.25 mol
So 0.5 moles of HgO will produced 0.25 moles of oxygen.
