Question
Mercury(II) nitrate is a compound formerly used to treat fur to make felt for hats. It can also cause a psychological illness, which is where the phrase 'mad as a hatter' originated. Mercury(II) nitrate is synthesized by the reaction of mercury metal with hot concentrated nitric acid:
Hg(l) + 2 HNO₃(aq) → Hg(NO₃)₂ + H₂(g)
What mass in grams of mercury metal would be required to form 7.55 grams of mercury(II) nitrate?
