How much heat is released when 15.0 g of water vapor is condensed and then cooled from 100.0 c to -32.0 c? show work ❤️

46148 J

Explanation:

You need to calculate the heat associated with each of the following steps. You will need to know some specific heats (they are probably given to you somewhere).

Step #1: Condensation

Step #2: Cooling from 100 C to 0 C

Step #3: Freezing

Step #4: Cooling from 0 C to -32 C

Step #1:

q = mC

q = 15 g (-2256 J/g )

q = -33840 J

Step #2:

q = mcΔT

q = 15 g (4.19 J/g/C)(-100 C)

q = 6285

Step #3:

q = mC

q = 15 g (-334 J/g)

q = -5010

Step #4:

q = mcΔT

q = 15 g (2.11 J/g/C)(-32 C)

q = -1013

Keep in mind the - signs indicate heat is being released. To calculate the total heat released, add the individual heats calcualted at each step:

Total heat released = 33840 + 6285 + 5010 + 1013 = 46148 J

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
