Question

The following information is given for mercury at 1 atm: boiling point = 356.60 $^\circ$C $\Delta H_{vap}$(356.60 $^\circ$C) = 295.6 J/g melting point = -38.90 $^\circ$C $\Delta H_{fus}$(-38.90 $^\circ$C) = 11.60 J/g specific heat gas = 0.1040 J/g$^\circ$C specific heat liquid = 0.1390 J/g$^\circ$C A 20.60 g sample of liquid mercury is initially at 232.00 $^\circ$C. If the sample is heated at constant pressure (P = 1 atm), ______ kJ of energy are needed to raise the temperature of the sample to 375.00 $^\circ$C.

          The following information is given for mercury at 1 atm:
boiling point = 356.60 $^\circ$C
$\Delta H_{vap}$(356.60 $^\circ$C) = 295.6 J/g
melting point = -38.90 $^\circ$C
$\Delta H_{fus}$(-38.90 $^\circ$C) = 11.60 J/g
specific heat gas = 0.1040 J/g$^\circ$C
specific heat liquid = 0.1390 J/g$^\circ$C
A 20.60 g sample of liquid mercury is initially at 232.00 $^\circ$C. If the sample is heated at constant pressure (P = 1 atm), ______ kJ of energy are needed to raise the temperature of the sample to 375.00 $^\circ$C.

The following information is given for mercury at 1 atm:
boiling point = 356.60 ^∘C
Δ Hvap(356.60 ^∘C) = 295.6 J/g
melting point = -38.90 ^∘C
Δ Hfus(-38.90 ^∘C) = 11.60 J/g
specific heat gas = 0.1040 J/g^∘C
specific heat liquid = 0.1390 J/g^∘C
A 20.60 g sample of liquid mercury is initially at 232.00 ^∘C. If the sample is heated at constant pressure (P = 1 atm), kJ of energy are needed to raise the temperature of the sample to 375.00 ^∘C.

Step 1

00°C to 356.60°C. Using the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature: Q = (20.60 g)(0.1390 cal/g°C)(356.60°C - 232.00°C) Q = (20.60 g)(0.1390 cal/g°C)(124.60°C) Q = 345.68 cal Show more…
