In a physics lab, a student accidentally drops a $25.0 \mathrm{g}$ brass washer into an open dewar of liquid nitrogen at $77.2 \mathrm{K} .$ How much liquid nitrogen boils away as the washer cools from $293 \mathrm{K}$ to $77.2 \mathrm{K}$ ? The latent heat of vaporization for nitrogen is $199.1 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}$.

Key Concepts

Specific Heat Capacity

This is a property of a material that indicates the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of the material by one degree. In many problems, including cooling or heating scenarios, it allows us to calculate the energy change when a substance experiences a temperature change.

Energy Conservation

A fundamental law in physics stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. When an object cools or heats, the energy it loses or gains must be accounted for in another part of the system, such as in a phase change of a surrounding substance.

Latent Heat of Vaporization

This is the amount of heat required to convert a unit mass of a substance from liquid to gas at constant temperature. It is a key concept in determining how much of a liquid will vaporize when it absorbs a specific amount of energy during a phase change.

Heat Transfer

Heat transfer refers to the movement of thermal energy from one object or system to another due to a temperature difference. In this context, it describes how the energy lost by the cooling object is transferred to the liquid, causing the liquid to vaporize.
