Why does galium melt

Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

Like most other metals, Gallium is solid at room temperature (or liquid if it is too hot in your room). But, if it is held [in hands] for long enough, it melts in your hands, and doesn't poison you like Mercury would. This is because of its unusually low melting point of (~29 degree Centigrade).

- It melts once it reaches its melting point.

At 273 k and 1.00 x 10^-2 atm, the density of a gas is 1.24 x 10^-5 g/cm3.
bija089 [108]

Root mean square velocity is the square root of the mean of the squares of speeds of different molecules. From kinetic theory of gas, the formula of root mean square velocity=C_{rms}= √\frac{3RT}{M}=√\frac{3PV}{M}=√\frac{3P}{d}, where, R= Universal gas constant, T= Absolute temperature, P= Pressure, V= Volume of gas, d= Density of gas.

Given,  T=273 K, P=1.00 x 10⁻² atm, d=1.24 x 10⁻⁵ g/cm³.

(a) Using the formula C_{rms}=√\frac{3P}{d}=√(3X1.00X10⁻²)/(1.24X10⁻⁵)=49.18

(b) Molar mass can be determined by using the formula C_{rms}=√{3RT}{M}

49.18=√\frac{3X8.314X273}{M}

49.18²=√(3X8.314X273)/M

M=\frac{3X8.314X273}{49.18^{2} }

M=1.67 ≅ 2

Molecular mass is 2.

(c) The gas is Helium (He) whose molecular mass is 2.
