Why do mercury hardly evaporates in room temperature

1 answer:

7 0

All I can say is that Mercury is a liquid at room temperature, and liquids will very slowly evaporate at room temperature. This is because the molecules have a relatively low energy at room temperature (since room temperature is very low compared to boiling point). The boiling point of mercury is 356.73 degrees Celsius, and room temperature is only about 23 degrees Celsius, so the evaporation rate at room temperature would be little to nothing.

Answer:

You would put the 4 quantum numbers corresponding to the electrons being described above

Explanation:

Quantum numbers refer to electrons, so I'll assume you mean the electron number that would correspond with the atomic number of the element. Quantum numbers are basically like an address for electrons, giving us information about the location of an electron from most general to most specific.

1. List three factors that can cause a chemical reaction to proceed faster.

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

1. The three factors are;

- Increasing the surface area of the reactants

- Using a catalyst

- Increasing temperature

2. Raising the temperature of a reaction mixture is the same as increasing the kinetic energy of the reacting molecules.

3. This reaction is an exothermic reaction. In exothermic reaction, the temperature of the system (mixture) decreases while that of the surroundings increases.

4. Reactions that releases energy to the surroundings are exothermic reactions.

5. All the options is an example of exothermic process because heat is being removed from the system except;

B. Evaporation of water - This is because it must absorb heat from the surroundings making it endothermic.

what mass of copper is produce when Zinc is added to a solution containing 31.9g copper (ii) tetraoxosulphate (vi)

Sergio [31]

12.7 grams of copper will be produced.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Copper is placed below zinc in the metal activity series. This means zinc can replace copper from its salt. Here zinc is added to the salt solution of copper sulphate. The reaction involved is

CuSO4 +Zn =ZnSO4 +Cu.

Zinc sulphate is soluble in the solution and rose red copper will be precipitated from the solution.

From the chemical equation we can see that 1 mole of zinc replaces 1 mole of copper. As no mass of zinc added is mentioned we will assume that excess of zinc is added.

Atomic mass of copper = 63.5

Atomic mass of sulphur = 32.

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16.

So molecular mass of copper sulphate = $63.5 + 32 + 4\times16$ = 159.5.

So, mass of 1 mole of copper sulphate is 159.5 grams.

So, in 31.9 grams of copper sulphate, number of moles of copper sulphate present = $\frac {159.5}{31.9}$ = 0.2

In 1 mole of copper sulphate, 1 mole of copper is present.

So in 0.2 moles of copper sulphate, 0.2 moles of copper is present.

So mass of 0.2 moles of copper = $0.2\times63.5$ = 12.7 grams
