Question

Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 97.6 g of water to steam at 100° C. (The molar heat of vaporization of water is 40.79 kJ/mol.)

Answer 1

Answer:

221.17 kJ

Explanation: Note the heat of vaporization is in kJ/mol,then to determine the number of moles of water: divide the mass by 18. Then multiply the number of moles by the molar heat of vaporization of water.

N = 97.6 ÷ 18

Q=molar heat *moles

Q = (40.79) * (97.6 ÷ 18)

This is approximately 221.17 kJ
