NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.
I've mentioned in the past that there are several steps, not just using specific heat. You must also use delta H of fusion and delta H of vaporization. If you didn't care for my previous answer, or if is incorrect, please state the reason, and maybe I or someone else can fix it.
Here is the way I showed it before.
53.5 g Hg x 1 mol Hg/200 g = 0.268 moles Hg
(1) Solid @ -38.83º to liquid @-38.83º
q = m∆Hf = (0.268 mol)(2.295 kJ/mol) = 0.615 kJ
(2) liquid @ -38.83º to liquid @ 356.73º
q = mC∆T
q = (53.5 g)(0.139 J/g/deg)(395.56 deg) = 2942 J = 2.942 kJ
(3) liquid @ 395.56º to gas @395.56º
q = m∆Hvap
q = (0.269 mol)(59.23 kJ/mol)
q = 15.93 kJ
Total energy (heat) added is the total of the 3 steps:
0.615 kJ + 2.942 kJ + 1593 kJ = 19.49 kJ

i understand that but just one question. why is it necessary to use fusion and vaporization if there is not any phase change04/25/20

one question- why is the fusion and vap necessary if there is no phase change04/25/20

can you show me the steps on how to do it04/23/20
