It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oil releases a large amount of energy, 2.80 × 107 J, when burned To illustrate this difficulty, calculate the number of liters of water that must be expended to absorb the energy released by burning 0.95 L of crude oil, if the water has its temperature raised from 20.0°C to 100°C, it boils, and the resulting steam is raised to 300°C. The latent heat of vaporization for water is Ly = 2256 kJ/kg, and in this problem, take 1520 J/kg-°C as the specific heat of steam. V =
