Answer:
Mercury responds to temperatures differently than water. When mercury is cold, the molecules bunch together, making it seem to be less liquid, and the opposite happens during heat.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Save the *minerals* used to extract metals.
Answer:
ΔG° = -533.64 kJ
Explanation:
Let's consider the following reaction.
Hg₂Cl₂(s) ⇄ Hg₂²⁺(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
The standard Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) can be calculated using the following expression:
ΔG° = ∑np × ΔG°f(products) - ∑nr × ΔG°f(reactants)
where,
ni are the moles of reactants and products
ΔG°f(i) are the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of reactants and products
ΔG° = 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂²⁺) + 2 mol × ΔG°f(Cl⁻) - 1 mol × ΔG°f(Hg₂Cl₂)
ΔG° = 1 mol × 148.85 kJ/mol + 2 mol × (-182.43 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-317.63 kJ/mol)
ΔG° = -533.64 kJ
