Part of the heat from the mercury will raise the temp of the water to 100oC. Th reat will go to vaporizing the water
Lowering the temp of Hg to 100oC will put m*v*deltaT energy into the system
Q in = 3.86kg*138J/kg-K*(204-100) = 55400J Available energy from the Hg
Some of this goes into the water to raise its temp to 100. That amt = m*c*deltaT
0.332kg*4190J/kg-K(100-82.2) = 24761J
This means there are 55400-24761 = 30639J available to vaporize the water
So now we need to calculate how much water this would vaporize using Q = m*Lv
so m = Q/Lv = 30639J/2.256x10^6J/kg = 0.0136kg turns to steam
