The main reason that distillation is a costly method for purifying water is the high energy
required to heat and vaporize water.
Part A
Using the density, specific heat, and heat of vaporization of water from Appendix B in the textbook, calculate the amount of energy required to vaporize 1.00 gal of water beginning with water at 25 °C.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
E = 9700 kJ

v Correct
The volume of the water, given in gallons, must first be converted to grams using the density from the appendix.
3780 gal x t x1L x 1000 mL. x 0.99707 g H20 – 1.43 x 107 g H.O
1L
4 qt
1 gal
1.43 x 107 g H20
1.057 qt
1 ml.
First, the water needs to be heated from 25 °C to 100 °C. The heat associated with this process is calculated using the specific heat of water from the appendix.

Once the water reaches 100 °C, it must then be vaporized. The heat associated with this process is then calculated using the heat of vaporization from the appendix.

The total amount of energy required is the sum of these two heat values.

4.481 x 10° k.J + 3.223 x 10° kJ
= 9700 kJ/gal H,0
Part B
If the energy is provided by electricity costing S0.087 /kwh, calculate its cost. (1 kwh = 3.6 x 10 J)
