An experimental cryogenic cooling loop uses a specialized fluorocarbon refrigerant. The refrigerant has a molar mass of 0.088 kg mol-1 and a specific latent heat of vaporisation of 360 kJ kg-1 at its boiling point.
During a test cycle, 75 moles75\text{ moles}75 moles of the liquid refrigerant are completely vaporised at its boiling point.
What is the thermal energy required to vaporise this amount of refrigerant?
