Answer:
37064 J
Step-by-step explanation:
Data Given:
mass of Steam (m) = 16.4 g
heat released (Q) = ?
Solution:
This question is related to the latent heat of condensation.
Latent heat of condensation is the amount of heat released when water vapors condenses to liquid.
Formula used
Q = m x Lc . . . . . (1)
where
Lc = specific latent heat of condensation
Latent heat of vaporization of water is exactly equal to heat of condensation with - charge
So, Latent heat of vaporization of water have a constant value
Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260 J/g
So
Latent heat of condensation of water will be = - 2260 J/g
Put values in eq. 1
Q = (16.4 g) x (- 2260 J/g)
Q = - 37064 J
So, 37064 J of heat will be released negative sign indicate release of energy
