From Mercury—Density and Thermal Expansion at Atmospheric Pressure and Temperatures from 0 to. 350 C, Tables of Standard Handbook Data, Standartov, Moscow, 1978. The density values obtainable from those cited for the specific volume of the saturated liquid in the Thermodynamic Properties subsection show minor differences. No attempt was made to adjust either set. 

A summary of the thermodynamic properties of elemental mercury and its compounds has appeared. Although Hg is considered a class b or soft metal ion see Class A Class B Behavior and Hard Soft Acids and Bases), its coordination behavior suggests that it functions as a harder acid than the divalent ion. Advanced texts have discussed the chemistry of the element and its compounds. ... 

Table I. Thermodynamic Properties of Mercury Minerals and Compounds at 298.15K, Including Estimates.

The following table gives the vapor pressure of mercury in kUo-pascals (100 kPa = 1 bar) from the triple point (234.3156 K) to the critical point (1764 K). The data are generated from the formulation of Huber, Laesecke, and Friend in Reference 1, which is based on a critical evaluation of all the published data on mercury vapor pressure and related thermodynamic properties. The estimated uncertainty in the vapor pressure is ... 

Polarography is a useful method for studying the chemical and electrochemical properties of various solvent systems. In this section, our interest lies only in the application of this method for the evaluation of thermodynamic properties. As an example, we shall consider first the case of the dropping mercury electrode (d.m.e.) and the reduction of an alkali metal, M, according to... 

CSV involves the addition of a ligand of known thermodynamic properties to the solution, equilibration and the accumulation of an adsorbed metal complex on a mercury electrode and its reduction by a cathodic potential scan. CSV measures only the metal species that will react with the ligand, either at the electrode or in solution. The method has found application in ligand competition methods for speciation analysis as discussed below.
