Mercury is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal. Compared to other metals, it is a poor conductor of heat, but a fair conductor of electricity.

![An immersion heater rated 400W, 220V is used to heat a liquid of mass 0.5kg. If the temperature of the liquid increases uniformly at the rate of 2.5ºC per second, calculate the specific heat capacity of the liquid.
