calculate the amount of heat released when 77.0g of steam at 104.5 celsius cools to ice at 0.0 celsius.
I don't understand the steps to take to solve this problem. Can someone walk me through it please?
Three equations work almost all of these. In general here they are. Fit them to your problem.
WITHIN a phase (all liquid, all steam, all ice) use
q = mass of the phase x specific heat of the phase x (Tfinal-Tinital)
At a phase change (example melting point) use q = mass of the phase x heat fusion
At a phase change (example boiling point) use q = mass of the phase x heat vaporization.
Those three will take you where you want to go. This will get you started.
q1 = heat released to go from steam at 104.5 to 100 (the boiling point).
q1 = mass steam x specific heat steam x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
q1 = 77.0 x ??you look it up x (100-104.5) = ?
Then q2 = heat released on condensing steam at the boiling point from vapor to liquid.
q2 = mass steam x heat vaporization
q2 = 77.0 x you look up Hvap.
hen you've gone from steam to liquid at 100 to liquid at 0C to ice at 0c. then add the q values together.
Sure! To calculate the amount of heat released, you need to use the specific heat capacity and molar heat of fusion for water. Here's how you can solve the problem step by step:
1. Convert the given mass of steam from grams to moles. To do this, divide the mass by the molar mass of water (18.015 g/mol) to find the number of moles.
2. Calculate the heat released during the cooling of steam from its initial temperature (104.5°C) to its boiling point (100°C). To do this, use the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the heat released, m is the mass in grams, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature. The specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/g°C.
a. First, calculate ΔT by subtracting the final temperature (100°C) from the initial temperature (104.5°C).
b. Next, substitute the values into the formula, using the mass of steam and the specific heat capacity of water, to find the heat released during this step.
3. Calculate the heat released during the condensation of steam to water at 100°C. The specific heat capacity of water vapor is 2.03 J/g°C.
a. Use the same formula Q = mcΔT, but this time the mass will be the same as the mass of steam calculated in step 1, and the specific heat capacity will be that of water vapor.
b. The temperature change, ΔT, will be 100°C (boiling point of water) - 100°C (initial temperature of cooling).
4. Calculate the heat released during the cooling of water from 100°C to 0°C. Use the same formula Q = mcΔT, but this time the mass will be the same as the mass of steam calculated in step 1, and the specific heat capacity will be that of liquid water (4.184 J/g°C). The temperature change, ΔT, will be 0°C (final temperature of cooling) - 100°C (initial temperature of cooling).
5. Finally, calculate the heat released during the freezing of water to ice at 0°C. The molar heat of fusion for water is 6.02 kJ/mol. Convert the moles of water vapor to moles of water using the molar ratio, and then multiply by the molar heat of fusion.
6. Add up all the heat released in steps 2, 3, 4, and 5 to find the total heat released during the entire process.
