Answer:

∴ Q = m·ΔHv = 15g x 540 cals/g = 8100 calories = 33,890 joules

Step-by-step explanation:

Phase transition formula => Q = m·ΔHv

Q = amount of heat absorbed

ΔHv = Heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g = 25,594 joules/g at 100°C

m = mass of substance = 15 grams

∴ Q = m·ΔHv = 15g x 540 cals/g = 8100 calories = 33,890 joules
