Water is boiled to add moisture to the air in the winter to help a congested person breathe better. Calculate the heat required to boil away .75 L of water that is initially 60 C.
I'm not sure what equation to use, I was thinking Q=mc(change in temp.)
where Q= heat energy
m= mass
c= specific heat
I know the specific heat of water is 1 cal/gC, but I am not given the mass and don't seem to have enough information to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated
