Question
This element is used to separate the isotopes lithium 6 and lithium 7 in the COLEX process. A compound of this metal, carbon, and hydrogen can lead to neurological damage when ingested in Minamata disease. Polarography uses a “dropping” electrode of this element, whose chloride, known as calomel, is used in many other electrodes. This element’s sulfide forms the mineral cinnabar, which is used in the pigment vermillion. The non-metric “torr” unit of pressure is approximately equal to 1 millimeter of this element. For 10 points, amalgams contain what metallic element that is a silvery liquid at room temperature? ■END■
