Since water is already at 100<span>°C all the energy is used to evaporate it.
Now we can calculate how many </span>mols of water are evaporated with 820kJ.
$N= \frac{820}{41} =20 mol$
We calculated that we got 20 mols of water evaporated. Now, all we have to do is find how many grams is a mol of water. Molar mass of water is <span>20.16 g/mol.
</span>The final answer is:
$m=20*20.16=403.2g$
