Solutions For Advanced Organic Chemistry Chapter 6 Problem 15P

Mercury (II) oxide, also called mercuric oxide, has a formula of HgO.

HgO is sometimes used in the production of mercury since it decomposes quite easily. When it decomposes, oxygen gas is generated.

It is also used as a material for anodes for mercury batteries.
