Mercury(I) oxide decomposes into elemental mercury and elemental oxygen: . (a)Write the equilibrium-constant expression for this reaction

Question:

Mercury(I) oxide decomposes into elemental mercury and elemental oxygen: 2 Hg,0(s) = 4 Hg(1) + O2(g).

(a)Write the equilibrium-constant expression for this reaction in terms of partial pressures.

(b) Suppose you run this reaction in a solvent that dissolves elemental mercury and elemental oxygen. Rewrite the equilibrium-constant expression in terms of molarities for the reaction, using (solv) to indicate solvation.
