The boiling point of mercury at 1 atm is 357 celsius, and the amount of heat necessary to reversibly evaporate a kilogram of mercury already at the boiling point is aq = 72780 kilogram of mercury undergoing a process of evaporation: cal. detrmine for a. a) work done by the mercury vapor against the atmosphere assuming it behaves as an ideal gas
b) the change in internal energy c) the change in entropy d) the change in enthalpy e) the change in helmholtz free energy f) the change in gibbs free energy necessary data: the density of liquid mercury is 13.55 kg/l hint: you can treat the mercury vapor as an ideal gas. note that you don't need to know the equation of state of liquid mercury for this particular problem. you can calculate everything necessary with knowledge from blocks two and three.
