Question

How much heat is removed from 60 grams of steam at 100 °C to change it to 60 grams

Answer 1

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water  = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation  = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

         H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

Insert the parameters and solve;

         H  = 20g x 2260J/g

          H = 45200J
