Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heat of vaporization for water is not required to calculate the amount of heat energy required to heat water from 25 °C to 55 °C. The other factors, including the mass of the water sample, the initial temperature, and the final temperature, as well as the specific heat of water, are required to calculate the amount of heat energy required. The heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to change a substance from a liquid to a gas at its boiling point, which is not applicable in this scenario.
