Mercury(II) oxide decomposes into its elements when heated.\nThere is no way that you would know this unless you had been taught about thermal decomposition. So all you need to worry about is the correct formula of oxygen gas.\n\nTherefore 2HgO --> 2Hg + O2.

Ans. C) lead (IV) oxide acts as a catalyst and speeds up the reaction, so that more O2 is evolved per unit time.\n\nAns. D) --by increasing the temperature

"Redox" metals have more than one oxidation state.  e.g. Fe2+/Fe3+ or Cu1+/Cu2+.  Zn and Ca only occur in biological systems in the 2+ state (therefore they cannot redox cycle).

normally they form hydroxides, but oxides are possible.  either would be considered basic

The previous answer is correct, but silicon dioxide is referred to by many different names and appears in many forms.  It is most commonly known as silica, it commonly appears in nature as sand or sandstone, but it also appears in three crystalline forms, one of which is quartz.  Please review the source below.\n\nNeed an answer?  Ask your friendly neighborhood librarian!

Aluminium Oxide (Al2O3) is insoluble in water but it is very slightly soluble in acids and alkalis. Aluminium Oxide is not only theoretical, it's used in applications including anti-refelective coatings, multilayers, interference films, protective films etc.

Nada. Absolutely nothing will happen. your strongest oxidizing agent is water and strongest reducing agent is Zinc. These guys cannot have a spontanious reaction. If you pass some electricity though it (more than .07V) then you'll end up w/ some zinc hydroxide. If this reaction happens in the presense of oxigen then also some zinc hydroxide can be formed. other than that nothing.

2Cu(NO3)2 ----> 2CuO + 4NO2 + O2\nOBSERVATION: brown, choking fumes of NO2 evolved; black solid i.e CuO settles at the bottom\n\n2FeSO4 ----> Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3 \nOBSERVATION: white fumes of SO3 evolved and reddish brown solid i.e. Fe2O3 formed\n\nEDIT: The above equation for iron(II)sulphate may be a supposed characteristic for its thermal decomposition relating to that of copper(II)nitrate above, but Chaos, O2 will not be evolved here, because SO3 will not get reduced to O2, even on strong heating.

Most oxygen compounds do have an octet.  Nirtogen compounds suffer from nitrogen having an odd number of valence electrons.  Still most nitrogen compounds tend to follow the octet rule.

Well, metal oxides dissociate in water, forming the O-2 ion. This is so extraordinarily basic that it doesn't exist. The splitsecond it's created, it grabs a hydrogen from the surrounding water and forms two OH- ions.

Zinc oxide is used in cremes for acne and burns, and other skin issues.

The term nitrogen oxide is imprecise and can be used to refer to any of these oxides (oxygen compounds) of nitrogen, or to a mixture of them:\n\nNitric oxide (NO), nitrogen(II) oxide \nNitrogen dioxide (NO2) \nDinitrogen oxide (N2O) (Nitrous oxide) \nDinitrogen trioxide (N2O3) \nDinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4) \nDinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) \nA mixture is often formed in chemical reactions that produce nitrogen oxides, with the proportions depending on the specific reaction and the conditions it is performed in. This is one reason why home production of N2O is undesirable; the other two stable oxides - which are extremely toxic - are liable to be produced.\n\nNote that the last 3 listed above are unstable.

Cerium(IV) oxide, ceric oxide, ceria, or sometimes simply cerium oxide or cerium dioxide, is a pale yellow-white powder, CeO2. It is used in ceramics, to polish glass, and to sensitize photosensitive glass. It is also used in lapidary as "jeweller's rouge" and in the walls of self-cleaning ovens.\n\nIt is slightly hygroscopic and will also absorb a small amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.\n\nNote that cerium also forms cerium(III) oxide, Ce2O3.

O3 is ozone and is typically made from NOx gases, something you don't want to be playing with.
