HELP plz:i)the densities of water and steam at 100 degree celcius and 1.01*10^5 pa are 1000kgm^-3 and 0.590kgm^-3 respectively.find the change in volume which occurs when 1 kg of water evaporates at 100 deg celcius and atmospheric pressure of 1.01 *10^5 pa
ii)calculate the work done against the atmosphere to produce the change in volume found in part (i)

Please help...

A kW h is 3600 x 1000 J= 3,600,000 J. Energy used by kettle to boil water on one occasion is 60s x 2400 W = 144 000 J.
So cost of this is (144 000/ 3 600 000) x 8 cents=0.32 cents. For three occasions it is 0.96 cents.

Buddies please help me with this simple theory question:

The rest mass of a proton = 1.67X 10^-27 kg
However, the mass of a proton is also u ,which is equal to 1.66X 10^ -27
What is the difference ? When do we use which one?
Does the 0.01 difference make any difference during calculations?
Thanks In advance.
