Calculate the increase in the internal energy when 1000 g of boiling water at 212° F is converted into steam at the same temperature. Atmospheric pressure is 1.013 X 10 Pa and the latent heat of vaporization is 2.260 MJ kg
-1

The increase in the internal energy is  1.840 x 10⁶ J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the water, m = 1000 g = 1 kg

temperature of the boiling water, t = 212 ° F  = 100 ° C

latent heat of vaporization, L = 2.260 MJ/kg = 2.260 x 10⁶ J/kg

The internal energy of the boiling water is calculated as;

Q₁ = mcΔθ

where;

c is specific heat capacity of water, = 4200 J/kg.⁰C

Δθ is change in temperature = 100 ° C

Q₁ = 1 x 4200 x 100

Q₁ = 420,000 J

The internal energy of the vaporized steam is calculated as;

Q₂ = mL

Q₂ = 1 x 2.260 x 10⁶

Q₂ = 2,260,000 J

The increase in the internal energy is calculated as;

ΔQ = Q₂ - Q₁

ΔQ = 2,260,000 J - 420,000 J

ΔQ = 1,840,000 J

ΔQ = 1.840 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the increase in the internal energy is  1.840 x 10⁶ J.

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
