Answer:
The speed of a wave would be 18 with a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency of 9 Hz.
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)
