One canister of butane (a fuel) provides 695 kJ of energy when it is burned. How many cups of water at 100.0°C can you convert to steam at 100.0°C using one canister of butane? (Each cup of water is equivalent to 250 mL.) Which causes a worse burn, steam at 100°C or liquid water at 100°C? Why? Liquid methanol will evaporate into the air if it is spilled. This will happen more quickly if it is on your hand. How much energy would have to come from your skin if 5.24 g of methanol evaporates to gas?
