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.

The earth's moon is unusually large. two popular theories of the moon's origin include the "sister world" hypothesis, which states that the moon formed from the same materials as the earth, near enough to the earth that they fell into orbit around each other. a second theory is the "capture" hypothesis, in which the moon formed elsewhere in the solar system, and the earth's gravity pulled it into its orbit. studies of what the moon is made of indicate that some of its materials had to come from the earth or from the same area of the solar system where the earth had formed. at the same time, the moon does not contain much of the material that makes up the earth's core, so the moon could not have formed from the same materials as the earth. how do the two facts above affect the described theories of the moon's origin? a. they show that scientists will never agree on where the moon came from. b. they show that more experiments on moon formation need to be done. c. they show that no theory accounts for the existence of the moon. d. they show that neither theory is complete and entirely correct.

Plz choose one of the compounds from the table and explain how you know the numbers of atoms in your formula. is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? why or why not? with a limited number of elements (less than 120 are known), does this mean we also have a small number of compounds or do we have a large number of compounds in this world?

When hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide solution, the following reaction occurs. hcl (aq) + koh (aq) h2o (l) + kcl (aq) the reaction gives off heat energy, so it is an reaction.
