Texts: 0.2220.22. Assume that thermal decomposition of mercuric oxide, HgO, follows first-order kinetics. It can be followed by the production of oxygen gas as a product: 2HgO -> 2Hg O2. At a particular temperature, k = 5.02 * 10^-3 s^-1. If 0.00 gram of HgO were present initially, how long would it take to produce 1.00 mL of O2 at STP? Also, how long would it take to produce 10.0 mL of O2 at STP? (STP - standard temperature and pressure for a gas)20.23. Assume that thermal decomposition of me
