The freezing point of mercury is -38.8. Explain what quantity of energy, in joules, is released to the surroundings if 1.00mL mercury is cooled from 23.0? To -38.8? And then frozen to a solid? Explain the density of liquid mercury is 13.6 g/cm3. Its specific heat capacity is 0.140J/(g*K) and its heat of fusion is 11.4J/g.)
