Physics

It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker,because each liter of crude oil releases 2.80×107 J of energy whenburned. To illustrate this difficulty, calculate the number ofliters of water that must be expended to absorb the energy releasedby burning 1.00 L of crude oil, if the water has its temperatureraised from 24.5 °C to 100 °C , it boils, and the resulting steamis raised to 325 °C.

Use 4186 J/(kg·°C) for the specific heat of water and 2020J/(kg⋅°C) for the specific heat of steam.

amount of water in L= ?
