2. The normal melting point of mercury is -38.87°C. At this temperature, the density of liquid mercury is 13.65 g/cm and the density of solid mercury is 14.26 g/cm3. The heat of fusion is 2.333 kJ/mol. Assume these quantities are all independent of T and P. a) What is AS for melting one mole of mercury at the normal melting point? b) Estimate the melting point of mercury at a pressure of 200 atm.
