Answer:

56500J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water = 25g = 0.025kg

Temperature of the water = 100°C

Unknown:

Amount of heat required to vaporize the water = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat required to vaporize the water is a function of the mass of the water and the latent heat of vaporization of water.

H = mL

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization of water = 22.6 x 10⁵J/Kg

H = 0.025 x 22.6 x 10⁵ = 56500J
