Hgo decomposes to form mercury (Hg) and oxygen as shown in the balanced equation below. An engineer wants to know how many grams of mercury (Hg) will result from the decomposition of 4.32 grams of HgO. Unfortunately, it has been a while since he has taken a chemistry course so he doesn't remember which is the correct way to set up this problem. Help him out by choosing which of the following options shows the correct set-up and answer. 2H90 → 2Hg + O2
