A compound of mercury and oxygen is heated in order to decompose the compound. A 4.08 grams sample of mercury oxide upon heating gives off oxygen gas. After heating the mass of mercury metal left behind was 3.78 grams. Calculate the empirical formula of the compound My and: 1 O2 to 2 Hg ratio but I don't know if it's correct and if so if I should write it as
2HgO > 2Hg + O2 or just 2Hg + O2
Please someone who understands help.

Infants born with severe respiratory problems are sometimes given liquid ventilation: they breathe a liquid that can dissolve more oxygen than air can hold. one of these liquids is a fluorinated compound, cf3(cf2)7br. the solubility of oxygen in this liquid is 66 mlo2 per 100 ml liquid. in contrast, air is 21 % oxygen by volume. calculate the moles of o2 present in an infant's lungs (volume: 12 ml ) if the infant takes a full breath of air. assume a pressure of 1 atm in the lungs.
