How much heat is evolved when 1234 g of water condenses to a liquid at 100.°c?

lbvjy [14]

During the phase transition vapour --> liquid water, the temperature of the water does not change; the molecules of water release heat and the amounf of heat released is equal to
$Q=mL_e$
where
m is the mass of the water
$L_e$ is the latent heat of evaporation.

For water, the latent heat of evaporation is $L=2257 kJ/kg$ , while the mass of the water is
$m=1234 g=1.234 kg$

so, the amount of heat released in the process is
$Q=mL_e = (1.234 kg)(2257 kJ/kg)=2785 kJ$

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?

Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up. Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology. Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.
