1- HgO(s) Hg(l) + O2(g)
Consider the unbalanced equation above. A sample of impure mercury(II) oxide is heated and the HgO decomposed completely. If 680. mL of O2 is collected by displacement of water at a barometric pressure of 680.0 mm Hg and 25.0°C, what mass of HgO was originally present? The vapor pressure of water is 23.8 mm Hg at 25.0°C. Use molar masses with at least as many significant figures as the data given.

2HgO →2Hg+O2

P(O2)=680.0-23.8=656.2 mmHg
PV=nRT
n(O2)=PV/(RT)=656.2/760*0.680/(0.0821*(273.15+25.0))=0.024 mol
Based on the chemical reaction, the molar amount of HgO consumed: 2*n(O2)=0.048 mol
Mass: 0.048*216.6=10.40 g.
Therefore, there are 10.40 g of HgO present at the beginning.

2-Na(s) + H2O(l) H2(g) + NaOH(aq)
Consider the unbalanced equation above. What volume of H2 is produced at 860. mm Hg and 24.0°C when 19.2 g of sodium reacts with excess water? Use molar masses with at least as many significant figures as the data ...
