Oxygen is a product of the decomposition of mercury(II) oxide as shown below. 2 HgO(s) →2 Hg(t) + O:(g) Assume that 8.2 grams of Hgo was used in this reaction. To determine the number of moles of oxygen gas formed, you need to know the number of moles of HgO reactant was used. How many moles of HgO were used?
