Popcorn pops because the kernel contains water that turns to steam when the kernel is dropped into hot oil; when the steam expands it pops the kernel. Given that the mass of a popcorn kernel is 0.125 g and that the water is 13.5% of the mass of the kernel. Assume that all the water turns to steam, and use that mass for further calculations. If the temperature is 240 oC when the kernel is popped, calculate the pressure in kPa that is generated by the water when it turns to steam and pops the kernel. Show
