The amount of energy released when 0.06 kg of mercury condenses at the same temperature can be calculated using its latent heat of fusion which is the opposite of melting. Latent heat of fusion and melting can be used because they have the same magnitude, but opposite signs. Latent heat is the amount of energy required to change the state or phase of a substance. For latent heat, there is no temperature change. The equation is:
E = m(ΔH)
where:
m = mass of substance
ΔH = latent heat of fusion or melting
According to data, the ΔH of mercury is approximately 11.6 kJ/kg.
E = 0.06kg (11.6 kJ/kg) = 0.696 kJ or 696 J
The answer is D. 697.08 J. Note that small differences could be due to rounding off or different data sources.
Earth is so hot inside that magma erupts and flies out. LOL hope this helps.
The nitrite ion has one less oxygen than the nitrate ion. Nitrate is NO3-1 while the nitrite ion is NO2-.
An intensive property does not change when you take away
some of the sample. The procedures that a student could use to examine the
intensive property of a rectangular block of wood are the hardness, color,
density and molecular weight.
