What is the equation for heating mercuric oxide in a test tube?
2HgO(s) + heat ---> 2Hg + O2
Write a balanced equation showing mercuryII oxide decomposing into mercury and oxygen gas?
2HgO------->2Hg+O2
What is the product of the decomposition reactant of mercury oxide?
The chemical formula (NOT: equation) for mercury oxide is (there are two possibillities):Mercury(I) oxide (mercurous oxide), Hg2O.Mercury(II) oxide (mercuric oxide), HgO
What will be the chemical reaction after heating HgO?
2HgO (s) --> 2Hg(l) + O2 (g)
Which atoms will be found ina mercury oxide HgO is heated and decomposes?
hgo is decomposed when exposed to light of 500 degrees
Balance Mercury oxide yields mercury plus oxygen?
2HgO(heat) ----> 2Hg + O2
Formula of mercuric oxide?
The formula for mercurous peroxide is Hg2O2.
If you heat mercuric oxide you will get . and .?
Mercuric oxide will decompose into elemental Mercury and gaseous oxygen
What is the balanced equation for HgO?
This equation is 2 H2O (liquid) = 2 H2 (gas) + O2 (gas)There must be 4 atoms / 2 diatomic molecules of hydrogen on each side to yield O2This is the electrolysis of water.
What is the balanced equation of mercuryII oxide HgO undergoes a chemical change to form mercury and oxygen?
the balanced equation of mercuryII oxide HgO undergoes a chemical change to form mercury and oxygen is given as .2HgO(s) --> 2Hg(l) + O2(g)The reaction is a redox reaction. Mercury (II) is reduced to zero charge. Oxygen is oxidized to zero charge.Molecule: HgO(s)
Is oxidizing mercury a physical or chemical change?
2HgO → 2Hg + O2 Mercury (II) oxide → Mercury (II) + Oxygen
What happens when Hg oxide is heated?
When mercuric oxide is strongly heated in a hard glass tube, it decomposes, globules of mercury collect in the cooler part of the tube and oxygen gas is evolved. It may be collected over mercury in a pure and dry state.
