How much heat is needed to convert 914 g of ice at -30°C to steam at 118°C? (The specific heats of ice and steam are 2.03 J/g·°C and 1.99 J/g·°C, respectively.)

@dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Two phase changes, a even longer question LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh xD oh man

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Alright give me a few minutes again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Hmm, are they missing the heat of fusion and heat of vaporization?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Or do we plug that in our selves?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we plug that in ourselves im pretty sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Heat of Fusion for H20 is 6.02kJ/mol Heat of Vaporization is 40.7kJ/mol

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

lol it's alright, i won't use them anyways (more comfortable for me)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

1. Heat needed to raise temperature from -30 to 0 (to get it to melting point) 914 g x 2.03 x 30=55.66 KJ 2. Heat needed to phase shift it from a solid to a liquid 333 (fusion heat of water) x 914=304.362 KJ 3. Heat needed to raise water temperature to boiling point (0 to 100) 914 x 4.19 (specific heat of water) x 100=382.97 KJ 4. Heat needed to make the phase shift from liquid to gas 914 x 2260(heat of vaporization) =2,065.64 KJ 5....One final step, can you give it a try and figure this one out? :P

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

For the last step, you need to use the given specific heat of steam

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

I'll give you a hint, it's the amount of energy needed to change the steam from 100 degrees to 118

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay ill see if i still need hepl :D thanks!

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Alright, see if you can figure out that last step and tag me if you need more assistance.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the last step, wouldn't I just do 1.99 x 18? @dtan5457

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Don't forget the mass..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x 914

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

yes, and remember to divide by 1000 to keep it in KJ....i'm assuming that's what your question wanted

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

it doesn't specify actually but I did all my steps in KJ so..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep alright! thank you haha you helped so much

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

np. got any more problems?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhm one sec haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the wrong answer lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suck at chem lol

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

wrong answer? how so? what was the correct answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I put in 32.7 and it marked the answer wrong

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

wait, as the FINAL answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 7 tries left to get the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah..? do i add all of them up?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Bro you need to add up all my other steps, the total heat released is over 2500KJ LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh O.o Told you i was dumb at chemistry lmfao

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

nah, just a silly mistake. if you were able to get the last step yourself (which you did), i think you have a decent idea of what to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yah hopefully haha

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

add them all up and let me know if that brings the correct answer ^_^ also look at your question if it asks for specific units

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

if it asks for joules you'l multiply it all by 1000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is in kJ

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

if the question asks for KJ, then yeah, your fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 35548.112

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i divide by 1000 and i got 25.548 lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

35*

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

this is for the last step right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sike nvm LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2841.37 was my final answer

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

well i'm assuming you know how to add, and that answer sounds about right so...go for it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sweet! Thank you!

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

it was correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay last one? haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it was

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

LOL nice! I could use the practice...so tag me onto a new question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay haha
