2.83 kJ are added to a sample of water at 100°C and it completely vaporizes. What is the mass of the water?
general formula

0.0013kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of heat  = 2.83kJ

Temperature  = 100°C

Unknown:

Mass of the water = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat needed to vaporize a substance is dependent on the mass of the substance and its latent heat of vaporization.

     H  = mL

H is the amount of heat

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

  Latent heat of vaporization of water  =  2260 kJ/kg

Now insert the parameters and solve;

      2.83  = m x 2260

            m  =   = 0.0013kg

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
