The mass of steam required to raise the temperature of water is 3.5 g.
The given parameters;
The molar mass of Benzene = 78.11 g/mol
The molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
The number of moles of the Benzene is calculated as follows;
[tex]n = \frac{47.6}{78.11} = 0.61 \ mole[/tex]
The mass of steam required is calculated as follows;
heat lost by steam = heat absorbed by benzene
[tex]\frac{m}{18} \times 40.7 \times 10^3 = 47.6(1.63)(30-5.5) \ + \ 0.61 \times 9.87 \times 10^3\\\\2261.11 m = 7921.61\\\\m = \frac{7921.61}{2261.11} \\\\m = 3.5 \ g[/tex]
Thus, the mass of steam required to raise the temperature of water is 3.5 g.
