Question Content Area

The following information is given for mercury at 1 atm:

boiling point = 356.6 °C     Hvap(356.6 °C) = 295.6 J/g
melting point = -38.90 °C   Hfus(-38.90 °C) = 11.60 J/g
specific heat gas = 0.1040 J/g °C   specific heat liquid = 0.1390 J/g °C


37.80 g sample of liquid mercury is initially at 78.40 °C. If the sample is heated at constant pressure (P = 1 atm), calculate the amount of energy in kJ needed to raise the temperature of the sample to 368.20 °C.  KJ
