A chemist has a 500 mL beaker with a small
amount of mercury(II) oxide, HgO, on the
bottom. Mercury(II) is insoluble in water but will
dissolve in strong acid. She adds 250 mL of water
and begins adding 1.0 M hydrochloric acid. She
continues adding acid until the solid just dissolves.
She then tests the solution and finds that it is non-
conducting. Which of the following best represents
the result for the solution just as the last of the solid
dissolves?
