Calculate the amount of heat required to convert 200g of water, which is at the temperature of 50°C to steam at 110°C at normal pressure. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg-K, latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.25 × 106 J/kg, Specific heat capacity of steam = 2000 J/kg-K.
If the solubilities of different components (in a liquid-liquid extraction system) increase with rise in temperature, then the temperature above which they dissolve completely is known as the critical solution temperature (CST or consolute temperature). If solubilities increase with decrease in temperature, then CST is the temperature below which they dissolve completely. If a binary system has no critical solution temperature, it implies that
