How many calories would be needed to evaporate half of a 300kg puddle of water?
90,000,000 Calories would be needed to evaporate half of a 300kg puddle of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
On average, 1 liter of water has a mass of 1 kg which requires 540,000 calories or
Joules of energy to get evaporated when the temperature rises to 100 degrees. In the event that the water starts at a temperature T degrees, at that point an extra
calories would be required to raise.
Since for 300kg of water we need 162000000 calories of energy .
Given:
1 kg = 540,000 calories or
![2.3 * 10^6](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/biology/middle-school/fdxksfzfvaghvi0vp442oer1mxrr1afh0p.png)
300Kg =
![300 * 540000](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/biology/middle-school/2k5m4s6vk9yt5e2yphhxn590n9okv1xr3w.png)
![= 162000000](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/biology/middle-school/ifwl7ozqyves1cjzrqsstk7wni2sf2elcr.png)
If half of the 300kg puddle has evaporate. Then
![(162000000)/(2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/biology/middle-school/rerb4nqwdx1vdj4c6ibq6watjza6yoa3hn.png)
calories of energy
So the evaporate value of 300kg puddle of water will be around 90000000 calories.
