### Problem Statement

The specific heat capacity of liquid mercury is \(0.14 \, \text{J/g-}^\circ \text{C}\). How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of \(6.00 \, \text{g}\) of mercury from \(36.0^\circ \text{C}\) to \(75.0^\circ \text{C}\)?

**Show and upload your work.**

### Multiple Choice Options
- \( \mathbf{1.7 \times 10^3 \, \text{J}} \)
- \( \mathbf{33 \, \text{J}} \)
- \( \mathbf{93 \, \text{J}} \)
- \( \mathbf{6.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{J}} \)
- \( \mathbf{1.8 \, \text{J}} \)  

---

### Detailed Explanation

To solve this problem, use the formula for calculating heat energy:

\[ Q = mc\Delta T \]

Where:
- \(Q\) is the heat energy (in joules),
- \(m\) is the mass of the substance (in grams),
- \(c\) is the specific heat capacity (in J/g-°C),
- \(\Delta T\) is the change in temperature (in °C).

1. **Calculate \(\Delta T\) (change in temperature)**:
   \[
   \Delta T = T_{\text{final}} - T_{\text{initial}} = 75.0^\circ \text{C} - 36.0^\circ \text{C} = 39.0^\circ \text{C}
   \]

2. **Substitute the values into the formula**:
   \[
   Q = mc\Delta T = (6.00 \, \text{g}) \times (0.14 \, \text{J/g-}^\circ \text{C}) \times (39.0^\circ \text{C})
   \]

3. **Perform the calculation**:
   \[
   Q = 6.00 \times 0.14 \times 39.0 = 32.76 \, \text{J}
   \]

Therefore, the correct answer is approximately \( 33 \, \text{J} \).
