Answer:

The heat energy that is added to the water is used to vaporize the water rather than raise its temperature.

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is 100 °C, which means that when water reaches this temperature, it will vaporize rather than rise in temperature. Under normal conditions, the temperature of water cannot rise above 100 °C.

Because 100 degrees is the boiling point, the water boils and becomes steam at that point. So the water that was higher than 100 degrees actually became steam, which is why the water in the pot is tops off at 100 degrees.

Use the molar heat capacity for aluminum from table 1 to calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 260.5

Nimfa-mama [501]

Unfortunately, you failed to include the table 1 from which the molar heat capacity of aluminum could have been obtained. However, as a general rule, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a certain substance by certain degrees is calculated through the equation,
H = mcpdT
where H is heat, m is mass, cp is specific heat capacity, and dT is change in temperature. From a reliable source, cp for aluminum is equal to 0.215 cal/g°C. Substituting this to the equation,
H = (260.5 g)(0.215 cal/g°C)(125°C - 0)
H = 7000.94 cal
