How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 210 g of

CH3OH(L) from 22.0 to 30.0 degrees C and than vaporize it at 30.0 degrees C?

The molar heat capacity of CH3OH(L) is 81.1 J /mol x K

The heat of vaporization of CH3OH at 298K is 38.0 kJ/Mol

  1. 30.0C - 22.0C = 8degC difference

    Atomic weights: C=12  H=1  O=16  CH4O=32

    First raise the temperature of the liquid:

    210gCH3OH x 1molCH3OH/32gCH3OH x 8.0degC x 81.1J/1molCH3OH = 4257.75 J

    Next boil the liquid:

    210gCH3OH x 1molCH3OH/32gCH3OH x 38.0J/1molCH3OH = 249.38 J

    Finally, addem up:

    4257.75 + 249.38 = 4510 J to three significant figures
