Interpretation: The solid that melt before mercury boils needs to be identified when an increase in temperature takes place.
Concept Introduction: The melting point is defined as the temperature at which a solid substance starts melting. The boiling point is defined as the temperature of a liquid when its vapor pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure. This is the temperature when liquid starts boiling and converts into vapor.
Answer to Problem 66A
Sulphur.
Explanation of Solution
On checking the temperature ranges, bromine will be liquid in the temperature range
Thus, the boiling point of mercury is
Thus, sulphur is solid that melt before mercury boils.
