- 105 The decomposition of mercury(II) thiocyanate produces an odd brown snake-like mass that is so unusual the process was once used in fireworks displays. There are actually several reactions that take place when the solid Hg(SCN)2 is ignited: 2Hg(SCN)2(s)2HgS(s)+CS2(s)+C3N4(s)CS2(s)+3O2(g)CO2(g)+2SO2(g)2C3N4(s)3(CN)2(g)+N2(g)HgS(s)+O2(g)Hg(l)+SO2(g) A 42.4-g sample of Hg(SCN)2 is placed into a 2.4-L vessel at 21°C. The vessel also contains air at a pressure of 758 torr. The container is sealed and the mixture is ignited, causing the reaction sequence above to occur. Once the reaction is complete, the container is cooled back to the original temperature of 21°C. (a) Without doing numerical calculations, predict whether the final pressure in the vessel will be greater than, less than, or equal to the initial pressure. Explain your answer.
