Question

Mercury (Hg) is typically obtained from the ore Cinnabar, mercury (II) sulfide (HgS),
according to the following balanced chemical reaction
HgS(s) + O2(g) --> Hg(l) + SO2(g)

Suppose the reaction was carried out to completion and 21.55 mL Hg(l) were obtained without
any losses (in other words, the percent yield of the reaction was 100%). Note, the density of
liquid mercury is 13.5 g/mL.

a) In the space below, write the appropriate mole-mole ratio needed to determine the amount
of SO2(g) from the given information. Include the correct numbers, units, and formulas.

b) What was the total mass, in grams, of SO2(g) that was produced from the reaction?
