One method of preparing elemental mercury involves roasting cinnabar (HgS) in quicklime

Chapter 10, Problem 10.169

(choose chapter or problem)

One method of preparing elemental mercury involves roasting cinnabar (HgS) in quicklime (CaO) at 600.8C followed by condensation of the mercury vapor. Given the heat of vaporization of mercury (296 J/g) and the vapor pressure of mercury at 25.08C (2.56 3 1023 torr), what is the vapor pressure of the condensed mercury at 300.8C? How many atoms of mercury are present in the mercury vapor at 300.8C if the reaction is conducted in a closed 15.0-L container?
