Answer: Mass Of CFC that needs to evaporate for the freezing of water = 328.24 g

Explanation: Heat gained by the CFC = Heat lost by water

Heat lost by water = Heat required to take water's temperature to 0°c + Heat required to freeze water at 0°c

Heat required to take water's temperature from 33°c to 0°c = mCΔT

m = 201g, C = 4.18 J / (gK), ΔT = 33

mCΔT = 201 * 4.18 * 33 = 27725.94 J

Heat required to freeze water at 0°c = mL

m = 201g, L = 334 J/g

mL = 201 * 334 = 67134 J

Heat gained by CFC to vaporize = mH = 27725.94 + 67134 = 94859.94 J

H = 289 J/g, m = ?

m * 289 = 94859.9

m = 328.24 g
