Question

Determine how much energy is needed to change 50 g of liquid water at 100°C to steam.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Q=113,000J$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the vaporization process is carried out in order to turn a liquid into a gas due to the addition of heat, we can use the following heat equation involving the heat of vaporization of water or any other substance:

$Q=m*\Delta _{vap}H$

Thus, since this heat of vaporization for water is 2259.36 J/g, we plug in this amount to obtain the total energy for this process.

$Q=50*2259.36 J/g\\\\Q=113,000J$

Which is positive due to the necessity of heat.
