The vapor pressure of mercury is 0.0020 mmHg at 26°C. (a) Calculate Kc and Kp(or the process Hg(l) ⇆ Hg(g). (b) A chemist breaks a thermometer and spills mercury onto the floor of a laboratory measuring 6.1 m long. 5.3 m wide, and 3.1 m high. Calculate the mass of mercury (in grams) vaporized at equilibrium and the concentration of mercury vapor (in mg/m3). Does this concentration exceed the safety limit of 0.05 mg/m3? (Ignore the volume of furniture and other objects in the laboratory.)
