Question

Mercury melts at -39C and boils at 357C Ordinarily it will exist in which state

Answer 1

Hey mate

${\huge{\mathfrak{\green{B}{rainliest\:answer}}}}$

Given,

Melting point of mercury = -39℃

Boiling point of mercury = 357℃

Now, if the melting point is -39℃, then mercury will melt in our room temperature as it is 30℃ - 35℃.

To make it simple, Mercury will exist as liquid as the room temperature is about 33℃ and this temperature could easily melt it as it has just a melting point of -39℃.

This means that mercury melts even at temperature of -38℃.

So, in our room temperature, it is found as liquid.

Another situation is that it's boiling point.

Mercury's boiling point is 357℃. Hence, it requires a temperature of 357℃ to get boiled. But our room temperature (35℃) doesn't make mercury to get boiled.

Hence, Mercury exist as liquid at room temperature.

Note :- Mercury is the only metal to exist as liquid at room temperature.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ordinarily, Mercury (Hg) will exist in a liquid state.

Explanation:

Which metal exists as a liquid at room temperature, write some of its physical properties?

• The metal that remains liquid at room temperature is mercury (Hg).
• It has a melting point of -38.9°C.
• It has a boiling point of 356.7°C.
• Liquid mercury droplets are lustrous, silver-white,
• It comprises high surface tension,
• When placed on a flat surface it looks spherical.

Uses

• Mercury is mostly employed in the production of industrial chemicals.

• It is used in electronic applications.
• Some liquid-in-glass thermometers, especially those that are conscious to monitor high temperatures, include it.
