A 0.25kg mass of liquid mercury initially 300°C is placed in an insulating closed container. The lid of the container is briefly lifted to insert a mass of copper initially at 390°C, causing all of the liquid mercury to undergo a phase change. What mass of copper was added if the system thermalizes at the boiling point of mercury? Need for equation used and all units marked.
