Consider the following reaction of mercury and oxygen:
2 Hg (l) + O2 (g) ⇌ 2 HgO (s)
For this reaction, the equilibrium amounts of reactants and products are: 1.00 g of HgO (s), 2.00 mL of Hg (l), and 1.60 mol/L of O2 (g). What is the value of the equilibrium constant, Kc? (In case you wish to know, HgO (s) has molar mass 217 g/mol and density 1.10 g/mL, and metallic mercury Hg (l) has atomic mass 201 g/mol and density 13.6 g/mL.)
