Compare the energy required to warm 1kg of water from 0ºc to 100ºc, to energy required to turn 1kg of water from liquid to vapor at 100ºc. a) warming the water requires more energy
b) vaporizing the water requires more energy
c) both processes require the same amount of energy

The correct answer is Option a.

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of heat absorbed, we use the equation:

where,

= amount of heat absorbed = ?

= specific heat capacity = 4.186 J/g °C

m = mass of water = 1 kg = 1000 g    (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g)

= final temperature =

= initial temperature =

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

To calculate the amount of heat released, we use the equation:

where,

= amount of heat absorbed = ?

m = mass of water = 1 kg

= latent heat of vaporization = 2260000 J/kg

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

From the calculations above, we get that

So, the warming of water requires more energy.

Hence, the correct answer is Option a.

in most common fires, oxygen is needed for an oxidation reaction to takes place. the combination of oxygen with any element as fuel can create fire and combustion will occur especially if wood, light materials and other combustible things are combine with oxygen.
