It is 2.1 x 10^3 because your base number needs to be in between 1 and 10, and the number you are converting is non-decimal, so the exponent is positive. It is 10^3 because you are moving the decimal 3 places to the right
Electricity grids will produce surplus power
When the specific heat capacity of the water is 4.18 J/g.°C so, we are going to use this formula to get the heat for cooling three phases changes from steam to liquid and from liquid to ice (solid) :
when Q = M*C*ΔT
Q is the heat in J
and M is the mass in gram = 1 mol H2O * 18 g/mol(molar mass) = 18 g
C is the specific heat J/g.°C
ΔT is the change in temperature
Q = Mw *[ ( Csteam * ΔTsteam)+(Cw*ΔTw) + (Cice * ΔT ice)]
= 18 g * [(2.01 * (155-100°C)) + (4.18 * (100-0°C)) + (2.09 * (0 - 55 °C))]
∴Q = 7444.8 J
and when we know that the heat of fusion for water = 334J/g
and heat of vaporization for water = 2260J/g
∴Q for the two phases changes = M * (2260+334)
= 18 * (2260+334)
= 46692 J
∴ Q total = 7444.8 + 46692 = 54136.8 J
