Answer:
energy required is 0.247kJ
Explanation:
The formula to use is Energy = nRdT;
Where n is number of mole
R is the molar gas constant
dT is the change in temperature
n = reacting mass of mercury / molar mass of mercury = 27.4/200.59 = 0.137
dT = final temperature - initial temperature = 376.20 - 158.30 = 217.90K
R = 8.314Jper mol per Kelvin
Energy = 0.137 x 8.314 x 217.90 = 247.12J
Energy in kJ= 247.12/1000= 0.247kJ
