Calculate the heat energy required to vaporize ... - JAMB Physics 2021 Question

Calculate the heat energy required to vaporize 50g of water initially at 80ºC if the specific heat capacity of water is 4.23jg\(^{-1}\)k\(^{-1}\) (specific latent heat of vaporization of water is 2260jg\(^{-1}\)

A

530000J

B

23200J

C

17200J

D

130000J

correct option: d

H = mc\(\bigtriangleup\theta\) + mL

m = 50g, c = 4.23J/gk,L = 2260, \(\bigtriangleup\theta\) = 80ºC

H = 50 [4.23 x 80 + 2260]

= 129920 \(\approx\) 130,000J
