Answer:

Option ( D) is correct

The phase transition occurs at 100o C (the normal boiling point of water). Liquid water becomes water vapor or steam when it enters the gaseous phase.

Step-by-step explanation:

A heating curve graphically represents the phase transitions that a substance undergoes as heat is added to it.

The liquid will begin to boil when enough heat has been absorbed by the solution that the temperature reaches the boiling point, where again, the temperature remains constant until all of the liquid has become gaseous water. At the atmospheric pressure of 1 atm, this phase transition occurs at 100o C (the normal boiling point of water). Liquid water becomes water vapor or steam when it enters the gaseous phase. Use the heat of vaporization ([latex]\Delta H_{vap}[/latex] ) to calculate how much heat was absorbed in this process: [latex]q=m\cdot C_{H_2O(g)}\cdot \Delta T[/latex], where m is the mass of the sample of water.

After all of the liquid has been converted to gas, the temperature will continue to increase as heat as added. Again, the heat added that results in a certain change temperature is given by: [latex]q=m\cdot C_{H_2O(g)}\cdot \Delta T[/latex] . Note that the specific heat capacity of gaseous water is different than that of ice or liquid water.
