Question

Suppose you heat 2.00kg of water and convert it into steam at the boiling temperature of water, 373 K and at normal atmospheric pressure, 1.00 atm. What is the volume of the steam?

Answer 1

Given data for problem:

mass of water = 2.00 Kg

water is converted into steam at 1.00 atm ( normal atmospheric pressure)

and Temperature = 373 K

From Steam property table: Saturation temperature tabel

we know that; 100^oC = 373 K    and 0.10142 MPa = 1 atm,

from the property tabel, specific volume of steam at temperature 303 K and pressure 1 atm is 1.6718 m^3/kg

therefore, Volume occupied by 2.00 kg steam at temperature 303 K and pressure 1 atm
