2) While water's boiling point at 1 atm is 100 °C, if you heat water quickly, you can "superheat" it past its boiling point. Superheated water is a kinetically metastable state and will rapidly boil if disturbed. a. Consider 13 mol of water (approximately 1 cup) that have been superheated to 110 °C. What is the enthalpy change for converting this superheated liquid into water vapor at 110 °C? To calculate this, you'll need to look up the heat capacity of water, the heat capacity of water vapor, and the enthalpy of vaporization of water. You can assume each of these quantities is constant over the range 100-110 °C. b. You should find your answer differs from that for vaporizing the same amount of water at 100 °C, water's normal boiling point. Can you provide a chemical explanation as to why these two quantities should differ?
