A metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature is obtained by heating its sulphide in the presence of air.

Question 1

A metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature is obtained by heating its sulphide in the presence of air. Identify the metal and its ore and give the reaction involved.

Question 2

Mercury is the only metal that exists as liquid at room temperature. It can be obtained by heating Cinnabar (HgS), the sulphide ore of mercury. When the ore (Cinnabar ore) is heated in the air, it is first converted into mercuric oxide (HgO). After that Mercuric oxide is reduced to mercury on further heating
