Haha, I wonder why it is a Chemistry Question. Obviously, it's the Physics topic, Heat!

Name: Mercury
Symbol: Hg
Atomic Number: 80
Melting Point: -38.87 °C
Boiling Point: 356.58 °C
Special TIP(s): Both specific latent heat of fusion and vaporization are not used. Only specific heat capacity is used! Temperature change: (37.0 C to 42.0 C)

E = mc (delta)T
E = 895.0 x 0.139 x (42.0-37.0)
E= 622.025 J

mass 895g
initial temp 37.0C
final temp 42.0C
temperature change ∆T (initial temp -final temp)
42.0C-35.0C=5.0c
specific heat capacity Hg(l) 0.139J/gC
Quantity of heat(q)= mass of the sample(m)×specific heat capacity (C)× change in temperature(∆T)

q=MC∆T
therefore 895g×0.139J/g.C×5.0C= 622.025J (answer)

OK, since you know that the energy required is mass * specific heat * change in temperature, and you know the mass, you know the specific heat, and you know the change in temperature, then your question is...?

Randy P nailed it.... q=mc(deltaT)

Calculate the energy needed to warm 895g of Hg from 37C to 42C.

q = mcΔT ........... where q is the quantity of heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the change in temperature. Simply plug and chug:

q = 895g x 0.139 J/gC x 5.0C
q = 622 J

(0.139 J/g.C) x (895 g) x (42.0 - 37.0) C = 622 J
