The specific heat of mercury is 149.4 J/(kgK)
Explanation:
When a substance is supplied with an amount of energy Q, its temperature increases according to the equation:
where
is the increase in temperature
m is the mass of the sample
is its specific heat capacity
For the sample of mercury in this problem we have
Q = 275 J
m = 0.450 kg
Therefore, by re-arranging the equation we find the mercury's specific heat:
