The specific enthalpy of vaporization (usually represented by the letter H with a carat above it) is generally given as units of energy per unit mass or per mole. If given in terms of per unit mass, the mass boiled can be calculated by dividing the energy input by the specific enthalpy. If given in terms of per mole, first divide the energy by the specific enthalpy then multiply the result by the mass per mole.
After water has been boiled, its mass will stay the same.
because a cart full of potatoes has more mass
1kJ x 1/Hvap x g/mol liquid
1kJ x 1/Hvap x g/mol liquid
Neither. Both have the same mass.
It depends on the size/mass of the potatoes. they are not all the same size.
Boiling water will not change its mass; it will simply move it from the liquid state to the gaseous state.
Photosynthesis is an example of turning energy into mass. E=mc^2 is how energy is turned into mass.
Yes. In a way, energy and mass are closely related; energy HAS mass, mass HAS energy. Energy gets converted into mass routinely in particle accelerators. The kinetic energy from the moving particles gets converted into new particles.
No. Energy has an ASSOCIATED mass. There is no such thing as mass-to-energy conversion, or energy-to-mass conversion. In a nuclear reaction, for example, BOTH mass and energy are CONSERVED. For a more detailed explanation, check the Wikipedia article on "binding energy".
The Law of conservation of mass-energy indicates that the mass-energy of the universe is constantly changing to maintain the mass-energy constant.
