Please show the steps in the path to get to the final asnwer in terms of reactions
20 grams of steam at 120 °C and 300 g of liquid water at 25 °C are brought together in an insulated flask. The pressure remains at 1 atm throughout.
( Write out the step by step path you use for the calculations)
Given: Cp’ (H2O, 1iq) = 4.184 J/K g, Cp’ (H2O, gas) = 1.86 J/K g, and
H’vaporization = 2257 J/g at 100°C
a)What is the final temperature of the system and which phase or phases are present?
b)Calculate the S for the system, surroundings & universe for this transformation.
Explanation / Answer
heat released by 20 g of steam when it comes to 1000C = mass of steam*Cp*change in temperature = 20*1.86*20 = 744 J
Heat released by steam when it comes to 1000 C water = mass of heat *delta Hvap = 20*2257 = 45150 J
Now, change in temperature of the water at 250C after absorbing (45150+744) J of heat =
total heat absorbed/(mass of water*Cp of H2O(l)) = 36.56 0C
Hence, final temperature of water present initially at 25 0C = 61.56 0C
Now, let the water (formed from steam) present at 100 0C comes to a final temperature of T 0C
and the water present at 61.56 0C comes to T'0C
Thus, heat released by water at 100 0C = heat absorbed by water at 61.56 0C
or, 20*4.184*(100-T) = 300*4.184*(T' - 61.56)
Now, T = T'
Thus, 100 - T = 15(T-61.56)
or, T = 63.96 0C
Hence the final temperature of the system will be 63.96 0C and only liquid phase will be present
