Answer:

339kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of steam = 150g = 0.15kg

Initial temperature of steam = 100°C

Final temperature of water = 100°C

Unknown:

Quantity of heat that must be removed to condense the steam = ?

Solution:

The heat involved here is a latent heat because there is no change temperature. The process is just a phase change.

H = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization = 2,260 kJ/kg

Insert the parameters and solve;

H = 0.15kg x 2,260 kJ/kg

H = 339kJ
