Eight grams of water changes from liquid to vapor at a pressure of one atmosphere. in the process, the volume changes from 0.8 cm³ to 674 cm³. the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.26 × 10⁶ j/kg. find the work done. answer in units of j.

work done = 68.2 j

Explanation:

mass (m) = 8 g

initial volume (V1) = 0.8 cm^{3} = 8 x 10^{-7} m^{3}

final volume (V2) = 674 cm^{3} = 6.74 x 10^{-4} m^{3}

latent heat of vaporization = 2.26 x 10^{6} j/kg

pressure = 1 atm = 1.013 x 10^{5} Pa

work done = pressure x change in volume

work done = 1.013 x 10^{5} x ((6.74 x 10^{-4}) - (8 x 10^{-7}))

work done = 68.2 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
