Mercury
Chapter 5 Mercury element Hg
01. Summary:
In chapter 5 Charles Webb married a wealthy woman named Gertrude
Gorman. 10 months later she was dead from mercury poisoning and her
her family was quick to point the finger at Webb. After public
humiliation, stories from mutual friends and family, and a lack of
evidence, Webb was found Innocent of the murder and poisoning of his
wife Gertrude. Although his reputation was tainted throughout New York
and he was still the being prosecuted as the murderer of Gertrude he
wound up getting around 600,00 dollars of his wife's estate.
02. State of matter at room temperature (20o C) Solid/liquid/gas-Properties with reference to COMPRESSABILITY, VOLUME, SHAPE, KINETIC ENERGY
