Why do mercury hardly evaporates in room temperature

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
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.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Write a<br> paragraph or two on electromagnetism.
patriot [66]

Answer:

Electromagnetism is the study of the electromagnetic force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It includes the electric force, which pushes all charged particles, and the magnetic force, which only pushes moving charges.It is used in many electrical appliances to generate desired magnetic fields. It is even used in a electric generator to produce magnetic fields for electromagnetic induction to occur.

Who conducted experiments to determine the quantity of charge carried by an electron?
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

it was Millikan. He conducted the oil drop experiment. Thomson determined the electon charge not the quantity. Rutherford used the gold foil experiment to find positive charge and that most of the atom is empty space. Dalton proposed that matter was made of small particles called atoms but that was a concept already proposed by ancient greeks. Dalton also proposed the atomic theory.
