Answer:

The amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 62.6 g of water to steam at 100°C is 141.74 kJ

Explanation:

The latent heat of vaporization is the heat required to transform a giving mass of a liquid completely to vapor at its boiling point thus

The mass of water = 62.6 g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 40.79 kJ/mol

The quantity of heat = Q = LH[tex]_{Vaporization}[/tex]·m  where  Q = required heat energy,

However the molar mass of water = 18.01528 g/mol

Therefore 62.6 g of water contains (62.6 g)/(18.01528 g/mol) = 3.47 moles

∴ Q = 3.47 moles × 40.79 kJ/mol = 141.74 kJ

The required amount of heat to convert 62.6 g of water to steam at 100 °C  is 141.74 kJ

The amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 62.6 g of water to steam at 100°C is 141.86kJ

The formula for calculating the required amount of heat is expressed according to the equation;

[tex]Q=\frac{m}{M}\times \triangle H_{vap}[/tex]

  • m is the mass of the compound
  • M is the molar mass

Given the following parameters

  • Mass = 62.6g
  • Molar mass of water = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol
  • [tex]\triangle H_{vap}[/tex] = 40.79 kJ/mol

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:

[tex]Q=\frac{62.6}{18} \times 40.79\\Q= 141.86Joules[/tex]

Hence the amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 62.6 g of water to steam at 100°C is 141.86kJ
