A quantity of steam at 100 o C condenses to water at the same temperature
PHYSICS
WAEC 2006
A quantity of steam at 100oC condenses to water at the same temperature by releasing 6.9 x 104J of energy. Calculate the mass of the condensed steam. [specific latent heat of vaporization of eater = 2.3 x 106 J kg-1]
- A. 3.0 x 10-1 kg
- B. 3.0 x 10-2 kg
- C. 3.0 x 10-3 kg
- D. 3.0 x 10-4 kg
Correct Answer: B. 3.0 x 10-2 kg
Explanation
M = \(\frac{Q}{T} = \frac{6.9 \times 10^{4}}{2.3 \times 10^6} = 3 \times 10^{-2} kg\)
