    Given: Heat given to mercury (Q) = 100 J

    Mass of mercury (m) = 80 g = 80 * 10⁻³ kg

    Specific Heat capacity of mercury (c) = 138 J/kg°C

    Let the rise of temperature be Δt

    Formula Used: Q = mcΔt

    Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

    Calculation:

    Q = mcΔt

    or, Δt = Q / mc

    or, Δt = 100 J / [ (80 * 10⁻³ kg) * (138 J/kg°C) ]

    or, Δt = 9.058 °C

    or, Δt = 9.1 °C

    Hence, the required increase in temperature will be 9.1 °C.
