Question

what is the amount of heat required to convert 5gm of water at 100°c to 5gm of steam at the same temperature. please answer with the solving.

Answer 1

Mass of water to be converted into steam = 5 gm

Temperature = 100 °C

Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2240 J/gm

Energy required to convert water into vapor = Mass × Latent heat of vaporization

Energy = 5 × 2240

Energy = 11200 Joules

Hence, the energy required is 11200 Joules
