Heat 13

The document discusses water having a specific heat capacity of 4200 J/(kg °C) and a boiling point of 100 °C. It then asks about what is meant by boiling point. It also asks about 0.3 kg of water at its boiling point being poured into an initially 11 °C copper container, calculating the energy transferred from the water and the thermal capacity of the copper container. It finally asks to explain why evaporation causes the temperature of remaining water to decrease in terms of molecules.

4 Water has a specific heat capacity of 4200 J / (kg °C) and a boiling point of 100 °C.

(a) State what is meant by boiling point.

...................................................................................................................................................

............................................................................................................................................. [1]

(b) A mass of 0.30 kg of water at its boiling point is poured into a copper container which is
initially at 11 °C. After a few seconds, the temperature of the container and the water are both
95 °C.

(i) Calculate the energy transferred from the water.

energy transferred = ......................................................... [2]

(ii) Calculate the thermal capacity of the copper container.

thermal capacity of the copper container = ......................................................... [2]

(iii) Water from the container evaporates and the temperature of the remaining water
decreases slowly.

Explain, in terms of molecules, why evaporation causes the temperature of the remaining
water to decrease.
