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.

What is the freezing point of a solution of 0.5 mol of LiBr in 500 mL of water? (Kf = 1.86°C/m) –1.86°C –7.44°C –5.58°C –3.72°C
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

  • Last choice: <em><u>- 3.72°C</u></em>

Explanation:

The freezing point depression in a solvent is a colligative property: it depends on the number of solute particles.

The equation to predict the freezing point depression in a solvent is:

  • ΔTf = Kf × m × i

Where,

  • ΔTf is the freezing point depression of the solvent,
  • m is the molality,
  • Kf is the cryoscopic molal constant of the solvent, and i is the Van'f Hoff factor, which is the number of ions produced by each unit formula of the ionic compound.

a gas that exerts a pressure of 215 torr in a container with a volume of 51.0 mL will exert a pressure of ? torr when transferre
zhannawk [14.2K]
To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:

P1V1 = P2V2,

Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:

(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL)
x = 0.593 torr

The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.

Hope this helps!

Would it be C..? <br> More NO2 and SO2 would form..help..please and thank you
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

C. More NO2 and SO2 will form

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's Principle : It  predicts the behavior of equilibrium due to change in pressure , temperature , volume , concentration etc

It states that When external changes are introduced in the equilibrium then it will shift the equilibrium in a direction to reduce the change.

In given Reaction SO3 is introduced(increased) .

So equilibrium will shift in the direction where SO3 should be consumed(decreased)

Hence the equilibrium will go in backward direction , i.e

NO + SO_{3} \rightarrow NO_{2} + SO_{2}

So more and more Of NO2 and SO2 will form
