Heat of Vaporization of Mercury (Hg) + Description, Origin, Uses ... 2022

Liquids need some energy or heat to transform into a gas, even Mercury. Ok, so what is the heat of vaporization of an atom of Hg?

Note: Learn more about the heat of vaporization here.

In the case of Mercury heat of vaporization is 59.229 kJ/mol. Now let's check some facts about Mercury that people don't know about...

Mercury Data

Mercury Heat of Vaporization

59.229 kJ/mol

Description

Heavy, silver-white metal, liquid at ordinary temperatures.

Uses

Used in thermometers, barometers, and batteries. Also used in electrical switches and mercury-vapor lighting products.

Atomic Mass

200,59

Learn more about the atomic mass.

Sources

Virtually all mercury comes from cinnabar or mercury sulfide (HgS). Some sources of red cinnabar are so rich in mercury that droplets of elemental mercury can be found in random samples.

State at 20 °C

liquid

Atomic Symbol

Hg

Name Origin

From the Roman god Mercury; symbol from Latin: hydrargyrus (liquid silver).

Atomic Number

80

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Heat of Vaporization of Mercury (Hg) + Description, Origin, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
