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:
5.0 x 10⁹ years.
Explanation:
- It is known that the decay of a radioactive isotope isotope obeys first order kinetics.
- Half-life time is the time needed for the reactants to be in its half concentration.
- If reactant has initial concentration [A₀], after half-life time its concentration will be ([A₀]/2).
- Also, it is clear that in first order decay the half-life time is independent of the initial concentration.
- The half-life of K-40 = 1.251 × 10⁹ years.
- For, first order reactions:
<em>k = ln(2)/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).</em>
Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.
t1/2 is the half-life of the reaction.
∴ k =0.693/(t1/2) = 0.693/(1.251 × 10⁹ years) = 5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹.
- Also, we have the integral law of first order reaction:
<em>kt = ln([A₀]/[A]),</em>
where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹).
t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? year).
[A₀] is the initial concentration of (K-40) ([A₀] = 100%).
[A] is the remaining concentration of (K-40) ([A] = 6.25%).
∴ (5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹)(t) = ln((100%)/( 6.25%))
∴ (5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹)(t) = 2.77.
∴ t = 2.77/(5.54 x 10⁻¹⁰ year⁻¹) = 5.0 x 10⁹ years.
