Answer:
20.79 kilojoules
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Q = m×c×∆T
Where;
Q = Quantity of heat (J)
c = specific heat capacity of solid DMSO (1.80 J/g°C)
m = mass of DMSO
∆T = change in temperature
According to the provided information, m= 50g, initial temperature = 19.0°C, final temperature= 250.0°C
Q = m×c×∆T
Q = 50 × 1.80 × (250°C - 19°C)
Q = 90 × 231
Q = 20790 Joules
To convert Joules to kilojoules, we divide by 1000 i.e.
20790/1000
= 20.79 kilojoules
Hence, 20.79 kilojoules of energy is required to convert 50.0 grams of solid DMSO to gas.
