Mercury has the following physical properties: normal melting point = -39°C, normal boiling point = 357°C, heat of fusion = 2.33 kJ/mol, heat of vaporization = 284 J/g, specific heat = 0.139 J/g·°C. Calculate ΔH for the conversion of 132 g of solid mercury at its freezing point to mercury vapor at its boiling point.
