If 5.0 kJ of energy is added to a 15.5-g sample of water at 10.°C, the water is Group of answer choices

The water is completely vaporized at this stage.

Explanation:

The complete question is

If 5.0 kJ of energy is added to a 15.5-g sample of water at 10.°C, the water is

-boiling

-completely vaporized

-frozen solid

-decomposed

-still a liquid

Energy added = 50 kJ = 50000 J

mass of water = 15.5 g = 0.0155 kg

temperature of water = 10 °C

We know that the energy posses by a mass of water at a given temperature is given as

H = mcT

where H is the energy possessed by the mass of water

m is the mass of the water

c is the specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/ kg- °C

T is the temperature of the water

substituting values, the energy of this amount of water is

H = 0.0155 x 4200 x 10 = 651 J

If 50 kJ is added to the water, the energy increases to

50000 J + 651 J = 50651 J

Temperature of this water at this stage will be gotten from

H = mcT

we solve for the new temperature

50651 = 0.0155 x 4200 x T

50651 = 65.1 x T

T = 50651/65.1 = 778.05 °C

This temperature is well over 100 °C, which is the vaporization temperature of water, but less than 3000 °C for its molecules to decompose.

i believe that it is a exoplanet

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
