Macmillan Learning It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oil releases 2.80 x 107 J of energy when burned. To illustrate this difficulty, calculate the number of liters of water that must be expended to absorb the energy released by burning 1.00 L of crude oil, if the water has its temperature raised from 22.5 °C to 100 °C, it boils, and the resulting steam is raised to 315 °C. Use 4186 J/(kg-°C) for the specific heat of water and 2020 J/(kg-°C) for the specific heat of steam. amount of water: L
