Basic Chemistry
- There are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. Heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with oxygen gas escaping into the atmosphere while leaving a residue of pure mercury. Heating 0.6498 g of one of the compounds leaves a residue of 0.6018 g. Heating 0.4172 g of the other compound results in a mass loss of 0.016 g. Determine the empirical formula of each compound.arrow_forwardWhat number of molecules (or formula units) are present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 52?arrow_forwardA compound called MMT was once used to boost the octane rating of gasoline.
