HELP BRAINLIEST
Which Metal Block will float (large or small)? Explain your reasoning

Lol here

Explanation:

Answer is: the percent composition of Hg in the compound is 71.5%.

Balanced chemical reaction: Hg + Br₂ → HgBr₂.

m(Hg) = 60.2 g; mass of the mercury.

m(Br₂) = 24.0; mass of the bromine.

m(HgBr₂) = m(Hg) + m(Br₂).

m(HgBr₂) = 60.2 g + 24 g.

m(HgBr₂) = 84.2 g; mass of the compound.

ω(Hg) = m(Hg) ÷ m(HgBr₂) · 100%.

ω(Hg) = 60.2 g ÷ 84.2 g · 100%.

ω(Hg) = 71.5%.
