How much energy (in kilojoules) is released when 12.3g of steam at 121.5 degree C is condensed to give liquid water at 64.5 degree C? The heat of vaporization of liquid water is 40.67kj/mol , and the molar heat capacity is 75.3 J/(K mol) for the liquid and 33.6 J/(K mol)for the vapor.
I do these problems in steps.
q1 = move steam at 121.5 C to steam at 100.
q1 = mass x specific heat x delta T.
q2 = condense steam at 100 to liquid at 100.
q2 = mass x heat vaporization.
q3 = move liquid water at 100 to liquid water at 64.5 C.
q3 = mass x specific heat x delta T.
The total energy is q1 + q2 + q3.
To calculate the energy released during condensation, we need to consider the following steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount of heat required to cool down the steam from 121.5°C to 100°C.
Step 2: Calculate the amount of heat required to condense the steam to liquid water at 100°C.
Step 3: Calculate the amount of heat required to cool down the liquid water from 100°C to 64.5°C.
Let's begin with step 1:
Step 1:
To calculate the amount of heat required to cool down the steam from 121.5°C to 100°C, we can use the formula:
q = m * C * ΔT
where,
q = amount of heat (in Joules)
m = mass of the substance (in grams)
C = specific heat capacity (in J/(g°C))
ΔT = change in temperature (in °C)
First, convert the mass of steam from grams to moles:
Molar mass of steam (H2O) = 18.02 g/mol
moles = mass / molar mass
moles = 12.3 g / 18.02 g/mol
Next, calculate the amount of heat required to cool down the steam using its molar heat capacity:
q1 = moles * C1 * ΔT1
where,
moles = number of moles of steam
C1 = molar heat capacity of steam (in J/(K mol))
ΔT1 = change in temperature (in K)
Since the molar heat capacity is given in J/(K mol), we need to convert ΔT from °C to K:
ΔT1 = (100 - 121.5) + 273.15
Now, substitute the values into the equation and calculate q1.
Step 2:
The next step is to calculate the amount of heat required to condense the steam to liquid water at 100°C. This is given by the heat of vaporization (ΔHv) of liquid water.
q2 = moles * ΔHv
where,
moles = number of moles of steam
ΔHv = heat of vaporization (in J/mol)
Now, substitute the values into the equation and calculate q2.
Step 3:
Finally, calculate the amount of heat required to cool down the liquid water from 100°C to 64.5°C using its molar heat capacity:
q3 = moles * C2 * ΔT2
where,
moles = number of moles of liquid water
C2 = molar heat capacity of liquid water (in J/(K mol))
ΔT2 = change in temperature (in K)
Since the molar heat capacity is given in J/(K mol), we need to convert ΔT from °C to K:
ΔT2 = (64.5 - 100) + 273.15
Now, substitute the values into the equation and calculate q3.
The total energy released during condensation is the sum of q1, q2, and q3.
Total Energy Released = q1 + q2 + q3
Please input the given values for moles, C1, ΔT1, ΔHv, C2, ΔT2, and calculate the heat for each step. Let me know if you need further assistance.
