Step 1
The molar heat capacity is the heat capacity per mole of a substance. We are given the heat capacity per gram (0.1395 J/g°C) and the atomic mass of Hg (200.59 g/mol). Show more…

The molar heat capacity of mercury is $28.1 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K}$ What is the specific heat capacity of this metal in $J / g \cdot K ?$
Mercury has a specific heat of 0.140 J/g-°C. A thermometer has 20.0 g of Hg. How much heat is absorbed in the Hg if the thermometer reading goes from 98.6°F to 103.2°F? Hint: Convert each temperature to Celsius before subtracting them.
