Problem

A blacksmith dunks a red-hot horseshoe into a large bucket of 22C water. How much heat is lost by the horseshoe vaporizing 0.01 kg of water? (cwater =4180 J/kgC,1water to steam =2.26×106 J/kg)

Answer

\boxed{22600 \text{ J}}

Steps

Step 1 :Given mass of water (m) = 0.01 kg and latent heat of vaporization (L) = 2.26 * 10^6 J/kg

Step 2 :Calculate heat transfer (Q) using the formula Q = m * L: Q=0.01×2.26×106

Step 3 :Q=22600

Step 4 :\boxed{22600 \text{ J}}
