The energy ( in joules ) released when 0.06 kilograms of
mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature is about 697.08 J. in
other to solve this problem, should know the latent heat of fusion of mercury
which is equal to about 11.4 kJ/kg and multiplying by mass of mercury.

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

\(Q=m \lambda_v\)

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\(\lambda_v\) is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \(\lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg\), so the heat released during the process is:

\(Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J\)

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J
