?Mercury(I) oxide decomposes into elemental mercury and elemental oxygen: \(2

Chapter 15, Problem 15.29

(choose chapter or problem)

Mercury(I) oxide decomposes into elemental mercury and elemental oxygen: \(2 \mathrm{Hg}_{2} \mathrm{O}(s) \rightleftharpoons 4 \mathrm{Hg}(l)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\).

(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.
