The mass of HgO needed for the reaction is 216 g

The correct answer to the question is Option C. 216 g

We'll begin by calculating the theoretical yield of Hg.

  • Actual yield of Hg = 100 g
  • Percentage yield = 50%
  • Theoretical yield of Hg =?

Theoretical yield = Actual yield / percentage yield

Theoretical yield = 100 / 50%

Theoretical yield of Hg = 200 g

Finally, we shall determine the mass of HgO needed for the reaction.

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂

Molar mass of HgO = 201 + 16 = 217 g/mol

Mass of HgO from the balanced equation = 2 × 217 = 434 g

Molar mass of Hg = 201 g/mol

Mass of Hg from the balanced equation = 2 × 201 = 402 g

From the balanced equation above,

402 g of Hg were produced from 434 g of HgO.

Therefore

200 g of Hg will be produce by = (200 × 434) / 402 = 216 g of HgO.

Thus, 216 g of HgO is needed for the reaction.
