Calculate the amount of heat energy required to convert 55.0 g of water at 62.5°C to steam at 124.0°C. (Cwater = 4.18 J/g°C; Csteam = 2.02 J/g°C; molar heat of vaporization of liquid water = 4.07 ✕ 104 J/mol)

    = 135,647.65 Joules or 135.65 kJ

    Explanation:

    Heat require to raise the temperature of 55 g water from 62.5°C to 124.0°C will be calculated in steps;

    Step 1; heat required to raise water from 62.5°C to 100 °C

    Heat = 55 g * 4.18 J/g°C * (100 - 62.5)

    = 8,621.25 Joules

    Step 2; Heat required to convert water to steam without change in temperature;

    Heat = moles * Molar Latent heat of vaporization.

    = (55g / 18 g/mol) * 4.07 ✕ 104 J/mol

    = 12.436 * 10^4 Joules

    Step 3: Heat required to raise the temperature of steam from 100°C to 124 °C.

    Heat = mass * specific heat capacity * ΔT

    = 55 g * 2.02 J/g°C * (124-100)

    = 2,666.4 Joules

    Therefore; total amount of heat required is;

    = 8,621.25 J + 124360 J + 2,666.4 J

    = 135,647.65 Joules or 135.65 kJ
