Question:

The production of vapour during cooking explains in part why bread and cakes rise. What volume of water vapour is formed in a cake when 1.0 gram of water vapourizes at 98 C and 103 kPa?



I substituted these values in the ideal gas law:

(103)(V) = (1/18.02)(8.314)(98+273.15)

V = 1.66 litres or 1662.5 mL.

This number seems quite high to me... any help would be appreciated.

Looks OK to me.
