Question 9

A sample of gaseous ethanol at its boiling point of 78∘C78^\circ\text{C}78∘C is completely condensed into liquid and then cooled to a final temperature of 25∘C25^\circ\text{C}25∘C. The mass of the ethanol is known.

Which extra information is needed to calculate the total thermal energy released from the ethanol during this entire process?

A

Specific latent heat of vaporisation of ethanol and specific heat capacity of gaseous ethanol

B

Specific latent heat of vaporisation of ethanol and specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol

C

Specific latent heat of fusion of ethanol and specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol

D

Specific heat capacity of gaseous ethanol and specific heat capacity of liquid ethanol only
