Do you mean what order the Earth is in? The planets in order from closest to farthest from the sun are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto is technically just a dwarf planet but I'll include it anyways.
The first thing that needs to be done is to find everything in the same units. 12 hours becomes 43200 seconds. Then find the distance traveled by light in that amount of time. Using the formula v=d/s, manipulate it so it looks like d=v*s. Then plug in the values: d=(3x10^8)*43200, d=1.3x10^13m. But you need to find this in kilometers. To do this, simply divide your answer by one thousand. Thus, a laser beam would travel 1.3x10^10 kilometers in 12 hours.
Answer;
Q = 359.2-J
Explanation;
Given that;
Constants for mercury at 1 atm
Heat capacity of Hg(l) is 28.0 J/(mol*K)
melting point is 234.32 K
Enthalpy of fusion is 2.29 kJ/mol
17.7-g Hg / 200.6g/mol = 0.0882 mol Hg;
°C + 273 = 298 K;
2.29-kJ/mol = 2290-J/mol
Q = (m x ΔT x Cp) + (m x Hf)
Q = 0.0882-mol x (298 - 234.32) x 28.0-J/mol*K) + (0.0882-mol x 2290-J/mol)
Q = 157.26-J + 201.978-J
Q = 359.2-J
Q=359-J (3 sig fig allowed due to 17.7-g given in problem)
