Step 1
We know that the change in entropy (ΔS) can be calculated using the formula: ΔS = ΔH / T where ΔH is the enthalpy of fusion and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Show more…

The molar heats of fusion and vaporization of mercury are 23.4 and 59.0 kJ/mol, respectively. Calculate the molar entropy changes for the solid-liquid and liquid-vapor transitions for mercury. At 1 atm pressure, mercury melts at $-38.9^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and boils at $357^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
calculate the entropy of fusion of mercury at freezing point (234.3K) ΔHfus = 2.292kJ/mol
