Answer:
B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.
Explanation:
It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.
For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by is
(S.I. unit = Joules).
where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.
But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat
(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
<h2>Answer: 502.08 J</h2>
Explanation:
The heat (thermal energy) needed in to raise the temperature in a process can be found using the following equation:
(1)
Where:
is the heat
is the mass of the element (<u>water</u> in this case)
is the specific heat capacity of the material. In the case of water is
is the variation in temperature <u>(which is increased in this case)</u>
Knowing this, let's rewrite (1) with these values:
(2)
Finally:
