An electric heater with constant heat supply rate is used to convert a certain amount of liquid ammonia to saturated vapour at high pressure. The heater takes 14 minutes to bring the liquid at \(15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to the boiling point of \(50{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 92 minutes to convert the liquid at the boiling point wholly to vapour. If the specific heat capacity of liquid ammonia is \(4.9 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{K}\), the latent heat of vaporisation of ammonia in \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{kg}\) is

  4. D 2250
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1127

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let mass of liquid ammonia taken is \(m\) and rate of heat supplied is \(r\). Then, as per given condition, \(r \times 14=m \times 4.9 \times(50-15)\) and \(r \times 92=m L\) Dividing these, we get…
