18N.2.HL.TZ0.b.ii

Liquid oxygen at its boiling point is stored in an insulated tank. Gaseous oxygen is produced from the tank when required using an electrical heater placed in the liquid.

The following data are available.

Mass of 1.0 mol of oxygen                                 = 32 g

Specific latent heat of vaporization of oxygen   = 2.1 × 105 J kg–1

An oxygen flow rate of 0.25 mol s–1 is needed.

Calculate the volume of the oxygen produced in one second when it is allowed to expand to a pressure of 0.11 MPa and to reach a temperature of –13 °C.
