Another problem with a phase change

How much heat is required to boil 85.6 g of ethanol (C2H5OH)? The heat of vaporization (ΔHvap) of ethanol is 161.3 kcal/mol.

This problem is also about a change of phase, so we need the formula


Now, what do we know?

Since we're solving for heat, we don't need to rearrange the formula. We can just substitute in our numbers and solve.


Now, you're ready for more complex problems
