Mercury is the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature. When mercury vapor is inhaled, it is readily absorbed by the lun

gs, causing signifiant health risks. The enthalpy of vaporization of mercury is 59.1 kJ/mol. The normal boiling point of mercury is 357°C. What is the vapor pressure of mercury at 43°C? Assume the enthalpy of vaporization does not depend on temperature.

Answer:

P = 0.0166 mm Hg

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to use the Clausius Clapeyron equation, which is a commonly used expression to calculate vapour pressure at a given temperature. We have the enthalpy of vaporization of the mercury, so, let's write the equation:

Clausius Clapeyron equation:

Ln (P₂ / P₁) = (-ΔHv / R)(1/T₂ - 1/T₁)    (1)

Where:

R: universal constant of gases (8.314 J / K.mol)

P₂: Vapour pressure at 43°C (or 316 K)

P₁: Pressure of mercury at the boiling point (1 atm)

T₂: temperature at 43 °C

T₁: Boiling point of mercury (357 °C or 630 K)

As we are given the boiling point of the mercury, we can safely assume that the pressure at this point is 1 atm, becuase remember that when a sustance boils, is because it's internal pressure has reached the atmospherical pressure of 1 atm. With this clear, all we just need to do is solve for P₂. We are going to do this very slowly so you can understand the process. First let's replace the given data:

Ln (P₂ / 1) = (-59100 J/mol / 8.314 J / K.mol) (1/316 - 1/630)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (3.16x10⁻³ - 1.59x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -7108.49 * (1.51x10⁻³)

Ln P₂ = -10.7338

P₂ = 10⁽⁻¹⁰°⁷³³⁸⁾

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ atm

We can express this value in mm Hg and it will be:

P₂ = 2.18x10⁻⁵ * 760

<h2>P₂ = 0.0166 mm Hg</h2>

Hope this helps

How many grams of Sodium will have the same number of atoms as 6 grams of Magnesium?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

92gm

Explanation:

Atomic mass of Mg=24g=1 mole of Mg

∴  24g =1 mole of Mg contain 6.022×10^23 atom 

∴  6gm contains 246.022×1023×6

                            =4×6.022×10^23 atoms

Now according to question, there are 6.022×1023 atoms of Na 

23gm of Na contains 6.022×10^23 atoms

∴6.022×4×10^23 atoms of Na weighs 23×6.022×10^23×4/6.022×10^23⇒92gm

If an atom has sp3d2 hybridization in a molecule:
never [62]

Answer:

a. the maximum number of σ bonds that the atom can form is 4

b. the maximum number of p-p bonds that the atom can form is 2

Explanation:

Hybridization is the mixing of at least two nonequivalent orbitals, in this case, we have the mixing of one <em>s, 3 p </em> and <em> 2 d </em> orbitals. In hybridization the number of hybrid orbitals generated  is equal to the number of pure atomic orbital, so we have 6 hybrid orbital.

The shape of this hybrid orbital is octahedral (look the attached image) , it has 4 orbital located in the plane and 2 orbital perpendicular to it.

This shape allows the formation of maximum 4 σ bond, because σ bonds are formed by orbitals overlapping end to end.

And maximum 2 p-p bonds, because p-p bonds are formed by sideways overlapping orbitals. The atom can form one with each one of the orbitals located perpendicular to the plane.
