When mercury ii oxide is heated it decomposes to form


When mercury (II) oxide is heated, it decomposes to form liquid mercury and oxygen gas according to the following balanced chemical equation:
2HgO(s) ? 2Hg(l) + O2(g)

Suppose in a certain experiment, a quantity of mercury (II) oxide decomposes completely and produces 72.3 mL of oxygen gas, measured at 692.8 torr and 43.4oC. What mass of HgO must have been present initially? (R = 0.08206 L atm K-1 mol-1)
