Answer:
339kJ
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
