Convert each compound name into its chemical formula, then balance the equation. mercury (II) oxide ⇒ mercury + oxygen

HgO ⇒ Hg + 0.5 O₂

Explanation:

Let's consider the following equation corresponding to the decomposition of mercury (II) oxide.

mercury (II) oxide ⇒ mercury + oxygen

The corresponding compounds are:

The balanced chemical equation is:

HgO ⇒ Hg + 0.5 O₂

pure water does not conduct electricity very well. however, when certain substances are dissolved in water, the solution does conduct electricity. you can make a simple device that shows how well a solution conducts electricity. this device uses a flashlight bulb to indicate how well the solution conducts electricity. the better the solution conducts electricity, the brighter the bulb will glow.
