While performing a thermodynamics experiment,a student made the following observations:
$HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O$ $\Delta H = -57.3 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$CH_{3}COOH + NaOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COONa + H_{2}O$ $\Delta H = -55.3 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
The enthalpy of ionization of $CH_{3}COOH$ as calculated by the student is $kJ \ mol^{-1}$. (nearest integer)

Heat of combustion of two isomers $x$ and $y$ are $17 \ kJ/mol$ and $12 \ kJ/mol$ respectively. From this information,it may be concluded that:

Calculate the heat required to convert $9 \ g$ of liquid water to water vapor using the following equations:
