    Topic: Latent Heat

    Name:

    Class:

    1. A 460 W water heater is used to boil water. Assuming no thermal energy losses, what mass of steam will it
    produce in 10 minutes? Specific latent heat of vaporization of water is about 2260 KJ/kg.

    Power(P)  = 460 W
    Time(t) = 10 min = 10* 60 s = 600 s
    mass(m) = ?
    Q = Pt = 460 * 10 * 60 = 276000 J = 276 kJ
    m = Q / Latent heat of vaporization of water
    m = 276 kJ / 2260 kJ/kg = 0.122 kg
    m = 122 g

    2. What is the amount of energy released when 5 g of steam at 100 ⁰C changes to water at 80 ⁰C? [Specific latent
    heat of vaporization of steam = 2500 J/g]

    There are two processes involved in this question. The isothermal phase change of (presumably) saturated steam
    into saturated water, and the cooling of that saturated water to 80 C, all of these processes are exothermic.
    So, before I go on, I’ll make some reasonable assumptions. Let’s say that this water is at 1 atm or 101.3 kPa. Let’s
    also assume that all energy loss is enthalpic in nature.
    Given the assumptions I made, the first law reduces to…
    ΔH=ΔE
    So, what is  ΔHΔH  for this process? As we discussed earlier, there are two components. The phase change and
    the cooling.
    The enthalpy of evaporation for water at the conditions we specified is   2257kJ/kg We know that  ΔH=mHfl,
    where  m  is the mass changing phase and  Hfl  is the enthalpy of condensation.
    So that’s one part, (the enthalpy of condensation is just the opposite of the enthalpy of evaporation), what’s the
    other part again?
    Oh yeah, the cooling. The pressure constant specific heat capacity of liquid water is, depending on where you
    look,  4.18kJ/kg∗K. We also know that  ΔH=mcpΔTΔH  where  m  is the mass being cooled,  ΔTΔT  is the change in
    temperature, and  cp  is the pressure constant specific heat.
    So, let’s put it all together!
    ΔH=ΔE=(.005)(−2257)+(.005)(4.18)(−20)=−11.703kJ
    Just as a side note, you’ll notice that the energy loss required to change phase, is *much* more than the energy
    loss required to change temperature.
    3. A beaker containing 0.250 kg of water at 10 ⁰C has a 2.0 kW heater immersed in it. Find the time needed to turn
    the water completely to steam. Specific latent heat of ice is 300 000 J/kg or 300 J/g.

     W = 1 J/sec thus 2.0 Kw = 2000 J/sec


    heat needed to raise 250 g H2O from 10º to 100º = (250g)(4.184 J/g)(90º) = 94,140 J
    heat needed to convert 250 g H2O to steam at 100º = (250 g)(2300 J/g) = 575,000 J
    Total energy needed = 575,000 + 94.140 = 669,140 J
    Time needed = 669,140 J x 1 sec/2000 J = 334.57 sec = 5.58 minutes = 5 minutes 35 seconds
