How much heat must be added to 120g of water at an initial temperature of 60C to
heat it to the boiling point?
completely convert the 100C water to steam?
Specific heat capacity of water = 1.0cal/g-C
It would take 120*1 to raise 120g of water up to 1C
difference in temperature = 100C - 60C = 40C
It would then take 120*40 to raise it to the boiling point
120*40 = 4800cal
specific heat of steam is 0.48 cal/g-C but what it the temperature of steam?
