136J required to change the temp. of 8.75g of nickel 35.0K, what is the specific heat capacity of Hg???

Question

its 34.9 but how do you get that??

Answer 1

The units of heat capacity are:

Joules / g K

For the numbers you gave for NICKEL, the answer is 0.444

For MERCURY (Hg) I looked up 0.41

I don't have a clue where 34.9 comes from

Even the molar heat capacity (J / mol K ) doesn't work out to 34.9 -- it works out to be 82 J / mol K

Even the molar heat capacity of Nickel doesn't work out to 34.9
