Question
A thermometer containing $0.10 \mathrm{g}$ of mercury is cooled from $15.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $8.5^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. How much energy left the mercury in this process?
Step 1
ΔT = T_final - T_initial ΔT = 8.5°C - 15.0°C ΔT = -6.5°C Show more…

A 10.0 g sample of mercury absorbs 110 cal as it is heated from $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to its boiling point at $356^{\circ} \mathrm{C} .$ It then requires an additional 697 cal to vaporize. How much energy is released as the mercury vapor cools from $356^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ to $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
It takes 770 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of Mercury by 110°C. What is the specific heat capacity of mercury?
Calculate the energy as heat released when $20.1$ grams of liquid mercury at $25.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ are converted to solid mercury at its melting point. The heat capacity of $\mathrm{Hg}(l)$ is $28.0 \mathrm{~J} \cdot \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \cdot \mathrm{K}^{-1}$
