How much heat is required to vaporize 0.25kg of ethanol at 78∘C? (Latent heat of vaporization of ethanol = 8.5×105J kg−1

Given: m = 0.25kg, Lv = 8.5×105J kg−1. Q = mLv = 0.25×8.5×105 = 212500J = 212.5kJ. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 212.5 kJ. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

How much heat is required to raise 0.6kg of water from 25∘C to 75∘C and then convert 0.4kg of it to steam at 100∘C in a

Q1 = (0.6×4186+0.1×386)×(75−25) = (2511.6+38.6)×50 = 2550.2×50 = 127510J (to 75°C). Q2 = (0.6×4186+0.1×386)×(100−75) = 2550.2×25 = 63755J (to 100°C). Q3 = 0.4×2.256×106 = 902400J (vaporization). Total: Q = 127510+63755+902400 = 1093665J = 1093.67kJ.

How much heat is required to raise 0.4kg of water from 15∘C to 85∘C and then convert 0.25kg to steam at 100∘C in a 0.2kg

Q1 = (0.4×4186+0.2×236)×(85−15) = (1674.4+47.2)×70 = 1721.6×70 = 120512J (to 85°C). Q2 = (0.4×4186+0.2×236)×(100−85) = 1721.6×15 = 25824J (to 100°C). Q3 = 0.25×2.256×106 = 564000J (vaporization). Total: Q = 120512+25824+564000 = 710336J = 710.34kJ.

During vaporization, what does the supplied heat primarily do to the liquid?

During vaporization, the supplied heat (latent heat of vaporization) breaks intermolecular bonds to convert the liquid into vapor, without changing its temperature. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Converts it to vapor without temperature change. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.
