Edgar Duncan · Answer 1

The total heat that is needed by the water to get converted to steam is calculated below through the equation,

H = (Hv) (n)

where H is the heat, Hv is the heat of vaporization (40.67 kJ/mol), and n is the number of mols. Substituting the known values,

H = (40.66 kJ/mol) (1.5 mol) = 60.99 kJ

Calculating for the time,

t = (60990 J) / (24 J/s)

t = 2541.25 s

Answer: 2541.25 s or approximately 42.35 minutes
