All of the following are needed to compute the enthalpy change of a stream that is heated and vaporised EXCEPT

  • A.the heat capacity of the liquid
  • B.the latent heat at the boiling point
  • C.the heat capacity of the vapour
  • D.the heat of reaction of the substance

Answer: D

Correct answer: the heat of reaction of the substance

Heating and vaporising involve no chemical change, so no heat of reaction enters. The three quantities required are the liquid heat capacity to reach the boiling point, the latent heat to vaporise there, and the vapour heat capacity for any further heating - which is the standard three-segment path for a stream that changes phase.
