∙ 15y agoHgO -----> Hg + O2
So the balanced equation would be:
2HgO ----> 2Hg + O2

HgCO3 (s) + heat --> HgO (s) + CO2 (g)
That's my guess anyways, based on how carbonates usually decompose.

What are the products of the decomposition of mercury oxide?
Mercury and oxygen.
In iron sulphide plus oxygen gives iron oxide plus sulfur dioxide is iron a reactant or product?
There is no elemental iron (Fe) involved in this reaction, neither as reactant (iron sulphide -FeS- plus oxygen are) nor as product (iron oxide (FeO) plus sulphur dioxide are)
A chemist hypothesizes that mercury oxide will undergo a decomposition reaction if it reaches a certain temperature When the chemist designs his experiment what should be the only independen?
temperature
What is the IUPAC name for Mercury I oxide?
IUPAC names: Mercury(I) oxide for Hg2O and Mercury(II) oxide for HgO
Is mercury oxide and mercuric oxide same thing?
Yes, Mercury(II) oxide, also called mercuric oxide or simply mercury oxide are all the smae compound.
What are the products of the decomposition of mercury oxide?
Mercury and oxygen.
What needs to be added to balance the equation for the decomposition of mercury oxide?
its already balanced
How are a reactant and a product alike?
A reactant exists at the beginning of a chemical reaction whilst a product exists at the end. They are alike in the fact that to get to a product you need to have a ready supply of the reactants. An example of a simple reactant/product reaction is shown below. Magnesium + Oxygen --> Magnesium Oxide Reactant + Reactant --> Products Hope this helps

What is HgO2?
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.
Is Mercury oxide a solid?
Yes it is, and it is written as Mercury (II) oxide
