Step 1
This can be done using the formula: Q = m * L Where: Q is the heat transfer (in Joules) m is the mass of the liquid nitrogen (in kg) L is the latent heat of liquid nitrogen (in J/kg) Given: m = 1 kg L = 199 kJ/kg = 199,000 J/kg Plugging in the values, we Show more…

How much heat is required to completely boil away 0.50 L of liquid nitrogen at $-196{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$ (Take the density of liquid nitrogen to be $0.80 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$.)
The latent heat of vaporization of liquid nitrogen is about $200 . \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg} .$ Suppose you have $1.00 \mathrm{~kg}$ of liquid nitrogen boiling at $77.0 \mathrm{~K}$. If you supply heat at a constant rate of $10.0 \mathrm{~W}$ via an electric heater immersed in the liquid nitrogen, how long will it take to vaporize all of it? What is the time for $1.00 \mathrm{~kg}$ of liquid helium, whose heat of vaporization is $20.9 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$ ?
At the boiling point of nitrogen, $\mathrm{N}_{2}$, how many joules are needed to vaporize $15.8 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{N}_{2}$ ?
