Question

An aluminum cube of mass 44.25 g, at 22.3 degrees celcius is immersed in a styrofoam cup filled with LN2 at -195.8 degrees celcius . After 120 seconds 34.50 g of LN2 evaporates due to the immersion of the cube. Calculate Lv of LN2 and the rate R (calories/second) at which heat from the cube evaporates LN2. (Note that the 34.50 g evaporates is due solely to the immersion of the cube and not by the heat transferring into the cup from the room.) Use the accepted value of c aluminum when calculating Lv. Use your calculated value of Lv when calculating the rate R. Thr accepted value of c aluminum is 900 J/kgK.

Explanation / Answer

mass of AL cube = 44.25 g

t= 22.3 deg

temp of LN2 = -198 deg ;

after immersion 34.5 g LN2 evaporates.

the 34.50 g evaporates is due solely to the immersion of the cube

by law of conservation of energy ;

heat lost by al cube = heat gained by LN2;

mcdt = ml ;

l = latent heat of vapourisation;

44.25 *900*(22.3+198) = 34.5 * l;

l=254,302 J/kgk;

rate of vapourisation = ml/t ;

=73,112 j/s
