Answer:

370,000 cal

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of water (m): 685 g
  • Heat of vaporization of water (ΔH°vap): 540 cal/g

Step 2: Calculate the heat necessary to vaporize 685 g of water

Vaporization is the process in which a liquid converts to a gas, at a constant temperature. The heat required (Q) is:

Q = ΔH°vap × m

Q = 540 cal/g × 685 g

Q = 3.70 × 10⁵ cal
