Answer

$T_{sat}=-11.7^{\circ}C$ $Q_{abs}=1089.92kJ$

Work Step by Step

From table A-3 the properties of isobutane at $1atm$ $T_{sat}=-11.7^{\circ}C$ $\rho=593.8\frac{kg}{m^3}$ $h_{fg}=367.1\frac{kJ}{kg}$ $m=\rho V=(593.8\frac{kg}{m^3})(0.005m^3)=2.969kg$ $Q_{abs}=mh_{fg}=2.969kg*367.1\frac{kJ}{kg}=1089.92kJ$
