Solving for a gaseous reactant
The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775. In this experiment
Lavoisier found that mercury(II) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas.
1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the
decomposition of solid mercury(II) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous
D-0
dioxygen.
2. Suppose 48.0 mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature
of 90.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm. Calculate the mass of mercury(II) oxide
that must have reacted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
