1 answer:
At room temperature oxygen, is present in the gas phase.
A gas is defined as a substance which is characterized by the rapidly movement of molecules which are widely separated. The shape and volume of gas is not definite that is they take on the shape of the container in which it is placed. The gas molecules have minimum inter-nuclear attractions and thus have high kinetic energy.
Thus, the sentences that describes oxygen at room temperature are:
- It has no definite volume and takes the shape of its container.
- Its particles move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them.
- It has more energy than it would be at a cooler temperature as the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature that is kinetic energy increases on increasing the temperature.

Explanation:
This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.
The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.
