Look at the reaction below and state which direction the reaction would shift: - You remove mercury(II) oxide, HgO, from the reaction.

2HgO (s) <=> 2Hg (l) + O2 (g)

it would be d. henry moseley

hope this !

and sorry if i'm late. have a good rest of your day! : d

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
