Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) boils at 12 oC. When liquid C2H5Cl under pressure is sprayed on a room-temperature

Question:

Ethyl chloride (C2H5Cl) boils at 12 oC. When liquid C2H5Cl under pressure is sprayed on a room-temperature (25 oC) surface in air, the surface is cooled considerably.
(a) What does this observation tell us about the specific heat of C2H5Cl(g) as compared with C2H5Cl(l)?
(b) Assume that the heat lost by the surface is gained by ethyl chloride. What enthalpies must you consider if you were to calculate the final temperature of the surface?
