Mass is the amount of matter an object contains(density), where as weight is the measurement of gravity's affect on that object. ... For example a person weight more on Earth than on the Moon because Earth has higher mass, and thus higher gravitational pull. While mass is the amount of matter some body is made of.

Because mass doesn't changed based on location and scientists rely on a property that is constant no matter where the object may be.

The enthalpy of vaporization of water is 2,257,000 J/kg. If I have a 1 kg sample, how much energy is needed to boil all of it
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2257000 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = Cₓm.................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of energy need to boil the water, Cₓ = Enthalpy of vaporization of water, m = mass of water.

From the question,

Given: Cₓ = 2257000 J/kg, m = 1 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 2257000×1

Q = 2257000 J

Hence the energy needed to boil all of the water is 2257000 J
