Answer:
m = 4.65 kg
Explanation:
As we know that the mass of the water that evaporated out is given as
[tex]m = 0.0250 kg[/tex]
so the energy released in form of vapor is given as
[tex]Q = mL[/tex]
[tex]Q = (0.0250)(2.25 \times 10^6)[/tex]
[tex]Q = 56511 J[/tex]
now the heat required by remaining water to bring it from 15 degree to 100 degree
[tex]Q_2 = ms\Delta T[/tex]
[tex]Q_2 = (4 - 0.025)(4186)(100 - 15)[/tex]
[tex]Q_2 = 1.41\times 10^6J[/tex]
total heat required for above conversion
[tex]Q = 56511 + 1.41 \times 10^6 = 1.47 \times 10^6 J[/tex]
now by heat energy balance
heat given by granite = heat absorbed by water
[tex]m(790)(500 - 100) = 1.47 \times 10^6[/tex]
[tex]m = 4.65 kg[/tex]
