Question

Water has the following thermodynamic constants: (1) specific heat liquid = 4.18 J/g °C, solid = 2.09 J/g °C, gas = 1.89 J/g °C, (2) heat of fusion = 334 J/g, and (3) heat of vaporization = 2257 J/g. For a sample of water at 1.0 atm of pressure, mass = 211 g at an initial temperature of -43 °C and a final temperature of 260 °C, answer the following questions:

(1) how much heat is required to warm the solid sample to its melting point? J

(2) how much heat is required to melt the sample? J

(3) how much heat is required to warm the liquid sample to its boiling point? J

(4) how much heat is required to vaporize the sample? J

(5) how much heat is required to warm the gaseous sample to its final temperature? J

(6) how much heat is required for the entire process to occur? J

Explanation / Answer

1)

q = mice*sice*DT

    = 211*2.09*(0--43)

    = 18962.57 joule

    = 18.962 kj

2) q melting = DHfus*mass of sample


             = 334 * 211 = 70474 joule


3) q = mwater*swater*DT

    = 211*4.18*(100-0)

     = 88198 joule

4) q vaporizing = DHvap*mass of sample

             = 2257*211 = 476227 joule

5) q = mvap*Svap*DT

      = 211*1.89*(260-100)

     = 63806.4 joule

6) qabsorbed total = 18962+70474+88198+476227+63806.4 = 717667.4 joule

     = 717.667 kj
