For number one the answer is Iodine because it is in the same group as fluorine. For number two the answer is Germanium for the same reason. For number three the answer is Aluminum for the same reason.
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.
ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>
True
It is True I took the test
