CALCULATE THE HEAT RELEASED WHEN 10 GRAM OF STEAM AT 100*C GETS CONVERTED TO WATER AT 20*C
Answer:
Explanation:
The energy released came from two discrete processes:
the steam condenses to release some latent heat of condensation at
100
l
o
C
the water cools down to
0
l

C
to

C
without solidfying.
The amount of energy released in the first process is dependent on the
L
v
latent heat of vaporization for water and the mass of the sample:

On the other hand, the amount of energy released in the second process depends on both the specific heat of water, the mass of the sample, and the magnitude of the change in temperature.
